Ítem Una alternativa para el estudio de los dientes humanos(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-12-01) Martinez Guerrero, Christian Alexander; Martinez-Guerrero, Christian Alexander; Arango Santander, Santiago; Carolina, Montoya; Pelaez, Vargas Alejandro; Ossa, Edgar Alexander; Materiales de IngenieríaÍtem Chemical, structural and mechanical characterization of bovine enamel(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-01-01) Arango-Santander S.; Montoya C.; Pelaez-Vargas A.; Ossa E.A.; Arango-Santander S.; Montoya C.; Pelaez-Vargas A.; Ossa E.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Materiales de IngenieríaObjective: The purpose of this investigation was to establish microstructure, microhardness, fracture toughness, chemical composition, and crack repair of bovine enamel and to compare these features with their human counterparts. Design: Bovine enamel fragments were prepared and optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to establish microstructure; Raman spectroscopy was used to estimate composition and microindentation using Vickers testing was performed to evaluate hardness. Results: A strong dependence between indentation load and microhardness values was observed, as was the case in human enamel. Similar microstructure and chemical composition between bovine and human enamel, 7.89% lower microhardness and 40% higher fracture toughness values for bovine enamel were found. Conclusion: From a structural and mechanical standpoint, bovine enamel is a suitable alternative to human enamel for in vitro testing of dental products. © 2019 Elsevier LtdÍtem Dientes bovinos: una alternativa para implantes dentales humanos(2021-04-05) Martinez Guerrero, Christian Alexander; Christian Alexander Martinez-Guerrero; Arango Santander, Santiago; Montoya, Carolina; Pelaez Vargas, Alejandro; Ossa, Alexander; Vicerrectoría de Descubrimiento y CreaciónÍtem Effect of aging on the microstructure, hardness and chemical composition of dentin(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2015-12-01) Montoya, C.; Arango-Santander, S.; Peláez-Vargas, A.; Arola, D.; Ossa, E.A.; Montoya, C.; Arango-Santander, S.; Peláez-Vargas, A.; Arola, D.; Ossa, E.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Materiales de IngenieríaObjective: Understanding the effects of biological aging on human tissues has been a topic of extensive research. With the increase in healthy seniors and quality of life that topic is becoming increasingly important. In this investigation the effects of aging on the microstructure, chemical composition and hardness of human coronal dentin was studied from a comparison of teeth within ``young'' and ``old'' age groups. Methods: The microstructure of dentin within three regions (i.e., inner, middle and outer) was analyzed using electron and optical microscopy. The mineral-to-collagen ratio in these three regions was estimated using Raman spectroscopy and the hardness was evaluated using microindentation. Results: Results showed that there were significant differences in tubule density, tubule diameter and peritubular cuff diameter with depth. Although there was no difference in tubule density and diameter of the tubules between the age groups, there was a significant difference in the occlusion ratio. A significant increase in hardness between young and old patients was found for middle and outer dentin. An increase in mineral-to-collagen ratio from inner to outer dentin was also found for both groups. In old patients, an increase in mineral content was found in outer coronal dentin as a consequence of tubule occlusion. Conclusions: An increase in occlusion ratio, hardness, and mineral content was found in the dentin of adult patients with age. This increase is most evident in the outer coronal dentin.
