Validation of finite-element simulations with synchrotron radiography – A descriptive study of micromechanics in two-piece dental implants

State-of-the art, two-piece dental implants made from titanium alloys exhibit a complex micromechanical behavior under dynamical load. Its understanding, especially the formation of microgaps, is of crucial importance in order to predict and improve the long-term performance of such implants. Microg...
