Question

6. Medical implants are often made of either titanium, resin or ceramics. A. Compare the following for the volume of expansion: i) natural tooth material (alpha = 8.3 x10^-6/C), ii) resin (alpha = 81x10^-6/C) and iii) titanium alloys (alpha = 25x10^-6/C) for a tooth approximated by a cylinder with radius 0.50 cm and height of 2.0 cm (1.( cm root and 1.0 cm exposed tooth) at 37C in comparison to the pre-implant room temperatur of 20 degree C. B. Next compare the expansion volume for the tooth or implant upon drinking a hot liquid, i.e. between 37 degree C and 90 degree C. C. If the teeth placement leaves a gap of 0.5 mm between teeth, would any of the materials cause buckling of the teeth?

Explanation / Answer

(A):

T initial = 20 degree C

T final = 37 degree C

Volume = pi*r^2 * h

V = pi* (5*10^(-3))^2 * 2*10^(-2)

V = 1.57*10^(-6) meter cube

delta T = T final - T initial

delta T = 17

delta V = alfa * V * delta T

(i): for natural tooth material

alfa (natural tooth material )= 8.3*10^(-6) / C

delta V (natural tooth material ) = 8.3*10^(-6) * 1.57*10^(-6) * 17

delta V (natural tooth material ) = 221.5270 * 10^(-12) meter cube

(ii): for resin

alfa (resin) = 81*10^(-6) /C

delta V (resin) = 2161.9*10^(-12) meter cube

(iii): for titanium alloys

alfa (titanium alloys) = 25*10^(-6) /C

delta V (titanium alloys) = 667.25*10(-12) meter cube

(B): consedering the maximum temprature 90 degree C

delta T = 70

(i): for natural tooth material

alfa (natural tooth material )= 8.3*10^(-6) / C

delta V (natural tooth material ) = 8.3*10^(-6) * 1.57*10^(-6) * 70

delta V (natural tooth material ) = 912.17 * 10^(-12) meter cube

(ii): for resin

alfa (resin) = 81*10^(-6) /C

delta V (resin) = 8901.9*10^(-12) meter cube

(iii): for titanium alloys

alfa (titanium alloys) = 25*10^(-6) /C

delta V (titanium alloys) = 2747.5*10(-12) meter cube

(C):

if teeth leaves a gap of 0.5 mm then it's expansion has margin or 0.5 mm radius.

volumetric margin is = pi* (5.5*10(-3))^2 * 2*10(-2) - pi* (5.5*10(-3))^2 * 2*10(-2)

volumetric margin = 389868 * 10^(-12) meter cube

this shows in none of the three cases teeths would b buckled.
