An extant tissue tester designed for rate-controlled indentation of the bulk soft tissues of lower extremity residual limbs was modified to include force feedback (proportional control) and enable creep testing. This device employs a digital linear actuator and a load cell that measures the reaction force resulting from tissue indentation. The current force value, f, is compared to the target force (ft) prescribed by the user. If the force falls outside of the region: 0.99 ft<f<1.01 ft, the device indents (f<ft) or retracts (f>ft) proportionally, based on the relative difference between f and ft.

Predicting time-dependent remodeling of bone around immediately loaded dental implants with different designs Eser, Atilim; Tönük, Ergin; Akça, Kıvanç; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) The purpose of this study was to predict time-dependent biomechanics of bone around cylindrical screw dental implants with different macrogeometric designs under simulated immediate loading condition. The remodeling of bone around a parallel-sided and a tapered dental implant of same length was studied under 100 N oblique load by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models. The results of the analyses were examined in five time intervals consisting loading immediately after...
Predicting bone remodeling around tissue- and bone-level dental implants used in reduced bone width Eser, Atilim; Tönük, Ergin; Akça, Kıvanç; Dard, Michel M.; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-03) The objective of this study was to predict time-dependent bone remodeling around tissue- and bone-level dental implants used in patients with reduced bone width. The remodeling of bone around titanium tissue-level, and titanium and titanium-zirconium alloy bone-level implants was studied under 100 N oblique load for one month by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models. Maximum principal stress, minimum principal stress, and strain energy density in pen-implant bone and ...
Investigation of tensile strength of hydroxyapatite with various porosities by diametral strength test Evis, Zafer (2008-04-01) It is appropriate to administer the diametral test to biomedical materials used in dental applications because stresses formed on dental implants are similar to those that formed in this test. To show this similarity, an experimental study of diametral strength testing of hydroxyapatite was performed. The influence of porosity on hydroxyapatite was investigated experimentally to determine how the diametral strength was affected. Hydroxyapatite was air sintered at 1100 degrees C for 1 h with porosities rangi...
Patient-specific orthopedic implant design and production with tissue engineering method Büyüksungur, Senem; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Customized and patient specific, tissue engineered constructs are needed for the treatment of irregular shaped bone defects. This study presents the preparation of two different 3D printed scaffolds. 1) PCL-based scaffolds modified with nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) and poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), and 2) Cell carrying hybrid scaffolds of PCL/GelMA. 3D printed, PCL-based scaffolds were coated with HAp or HAp/PPF before cell seeding and their presence enhanced osteoconductivity and compressive mechanical stren...
