1. Estimation of the corrosion properties for titanium dental alloys produced by SLMTadeja Kosec, Mirjam Bajt Leban, Maja Ovsenik, Matej Kurnik, Igor Kopač, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Titanium alloys are known for their excellent biocompatible properties. The development of additive-manufacturing technologies has increased the interest in the use of Ti-6Al-4V, produced by selective laser melting (SLM) method, also in dentistry, i.e., prosthodontics and orthodontics. In the present paper, the effect of laser printing parameters in the selective laser melting (SLM) process on the porosity and corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V dental alloy was metallographically and electrochemically studied. All the tests were performed in artificial saliva at 37 °C. Different forms of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were selected: a reference sample, i.e., pre-fabricated milling disc in wrought condition and four different 3D-printed samples made from Ti-6Al-4V powder using the SLM method, one being heat treated. Electrochemical, spectroscopic and hardness measurements were employed in the study. It was shown that the SLM-produced Ti-6Al-4V samples with different printing parameters have similar microstructural and electrochemical properties, while the electrochemical properties of a reference and thermally treated 3D-printed sample were different, most probably due to the change in the microstructure of the alloys. The corrosion properties were related to the microstructural properties as well as to the pore density.

2. Differences between 3-D printed and traditionally milled CoCr dental alloy from casted block in oral environmentMirjam Bajt Leban, Matej Kurnik, Igor Kopač, Matic Klug Jovičević, Bojan Podgornik, Tadeja Kosec, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The aim of this study was to compare corrosion resistance and ion release in CoCr dental alloys with identical chemical compositions produced using different technologies (SLM – selective laser melting and milling from cast blocks) and heat treatment (SLM parts only). The corrosion properties were tested in artificial saliva, artificial saliva with fluoride ions, and artificial saliva with added lactic acid to simulate inflammations. The study included electrochemical tests, microstructural investigation and ion release tests in the three different environments for a total of 42 days. The best performance of CoCr as a result of potentiodynamic polarization was observed in the artificial saliva with added lactic acid, which is in contradiction with the highest ion release measured from all the materials tested and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy that showed a deterioration of the passive layer in an acidic environment. Microstructural investigation revealed that different phases precipitated by heat treatment trigger increased release of Mo and W ions. The printing method does not raise critically ion release from CoCr alloy, while the state of the surface greatly impacts the extent of the ion release. This study demonstrates the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of corrosion and biocompatibility in dental alloys.

3. Comparison of the corrosion properties of CoCrMo dental alloys in artificial salivaTadeja Kosec, Mirjam Bajt Leban, Matej Kurnik, Igor Kopač, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: CoCrMo alloys are known for their biocompatible properties, which, together with their favorable mechanical properties, mean they can be efficiently used in dentistry. With the development of selective laser melting for the fabrication of 3D-printed ob - jects, interest in the corrosion properties of this alloy has risen in the field of prosthodontics. In the study, CoCrMoW dental al - loys were studied in artificial saliva at body temperature, i.e., 37 °C. Different forms of CoCrMoW alloy were selected: a refer - ence sample, i.e., original material as received from the supplier, a cast sample acquired from an ordinary procedure in a dental laboratory, and two 3D-printed samples made from CoCrMoW powder using the selective laser melting (SLM) method. Electro - chemical, spectroscopic and hardness measurements were conducted. It was shown that the reference and cast samples have similar microstructural and electrochemical properties, while the electrochemical properties of the 3D-printed samples differ, most probably due to the effect of the higher micro porosity and chemical composition of the alloys.
