Author(s): La Salete Alves*, Mário Sousa, Rui Fernandes, João Pimenta, Jeidson Marques and Serge Szmuckler-Moncler
Teeth remains are often the only means of positive identification in an unidentified body after being subjected to high temperature injury. The
routine use of dental implants made them as an active contributing element to the identification of unidentified cadavers. Their resistance to
prolonged high temperature might make them a substantial contributor to the identification of high temperature burned bodies. The aim of the
study was to observe the effects of high temperature on three dental implants of distinct elemental composition: C1-MIS®, made of Ti grade 23;
BL- Straumann®, made of Ti grade 4 and of a Titanium-Zirconium alloy; Roxolid-Straumann®, by detecting the changes of their microstructural
and elemental composition. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface structure
and eleme.. Read More»
