Subproject "Development of the process for titanium implant production based on rotary erosion using a new type of titanium electrode for optimal, reproducible surface processing with micro- and macro-structuring (1-250µm)"
The aim of the project is to develop a cost-effective surface treatment of titanium implants based on rotary erosion with a discharge time of 0.2-30 µs to increase bio- and haemocompatibility and endothelialization. Based on EDM, the negative impressions in the injection moulds of the PEEK gingiva former and PEEK abutments are optimally processed, giving these components the necessary functionalization. The PEEK gingiva former has an antibacterial effect due to the surface structure and the subsequent plasma activation, which means that the postoperative course is symptom-free. The PEEK abutment is used for optimal force distribution through an optimal geometry during articulation, especially in the molar region, taking into account the patient's real feeling while biting, whereby the surface enlargement (approx. 30%) achieves an adhesion force of at least 150 kN between the abutment and bone cement. The aim of these three sub-innovations is to develop a new type of implant that is more tolerable and optimized for the patient for the optimal treatment of patients.
