Nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have been widely used in orthodontic treatments at the aligning and leveling step which is the initial stage of the treatment. This review presents the concepts related to NiTi archwires from the materials science and engineering perspective. Analysis of the research profile showed that mechanical properties as a research topic constituted 25.9 % of the research articles published in last two decades. The effects of processing parameters, stress and temperature on phase transformations and corrosion are summarized. The main factors affecting corrosion are stress, temperature and pH of the environment. The effects of surface roughness, brackets and environment on friction are discussed. The surface modification studies are reviewed. The consequences of deflection heat treatment, aging on mechanical properties are described. NiTi archwires are also evaluated in terms of biological properties from a clinical perspective. Clinical studies have focused on mechanical properties and effects on tooth alignment, biofilm formation and Ni ion release. It is anticipated that the studies that will shape the future of the NiTi arcwire field will be on welding of different types of archwires, computational methods, and improvement in coating technologies.

Introduction: H Syndrome is an autosomal recessive (AR) disease caused by defects in SLCA29A3 gene. This gene encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter, the protein which is highly expressed in spleen, lymph node and bone marrow. Autoinflammation and autoimmunity accompanies H Syndrome (HS).
Nanocrystal Encoded FluorescentMicrobeads for Proteomics AntibodyProfiling and Diagnostics ofAutoimmune Diseases

The first application of nanocrystal (NC)-encoded microbeads to clinical proteomics is demonstrated by multiplexed detection of circulating autoantibodies, markers of systemic sclerosis. Two-color complexes, consisting of NC-encoded, antigen-covered beads, anti-antigen antibody or clinical serum samples, and dye-tagged detecting antibodies, were observed using flow cytometry assays and on the surface of single beads. The results of flow cytometry assays correlated with the ELISA technique and provided clear...
Additive manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium implants and scaffolds: Review of the recent advances and research trends
Sezer, Nurettin; Evis, Zafer; Koc, Muammer (2021-03-01)
Synthetic grafting needs improvements to eliminate secondary surgeries for the removal of implants after healing of the defected tissues. Tissue scaffolds are engineered to serve as temporary templates, which support the affected tissue and gradually degrade through the healing period. Beside mechanical function to withstand the anatomic loading conditions, scaffolds should also provide a decent biological function for the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and excretion of the wastes from the ...
Evaulation of spatial and spatio-temporal regularization approaches in inverse problem of electrocardiography
Önal, Murat; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
Conventional electrocardiography (ECG) is an essential tool for investigating cardiac disorders such as arrhythmias or myocardial infarction. It consists of interpretation of potentials recorded at the body surface that occur due to the electrical activity of the heart. However, electrical signals originated at the heart suffer from attenuation and smoothing within the thorax, therefore ECG signal measured on the body surface lacks some important details. The goal of forward and inverse ECG problems is to r...
Selenium doped calcium phosphate biomimetic coating on Ti6Al4V orthopedic implant material for anti-cancer and anti-bacterial purposes
Yılmaz, Bengi; Evis, Zafer; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2014)
In order to prevent recurrent osteosarcoma in patients undergone surgical resection for implant insertion and infection around implant site, which is a very common complication after surgery, it is very important to functionalize the surface. In this study, to combine the effective antioxidant and potential anti-cancer and anti-bacterial properties of selenium with the high biocompatibility and bioactivity of hydroxyapatite, selenium was added to the structure of hydroxyapatite via biomimetic method and coa...
