Drilling is an operation commonly required in orthopaedic surgery for insertion of screws and internal fixation of bone fractures. Induced damage is one of the undesired effects of drilling mainly due to the use of inadequate drilling parameters. During the recent years, scientists have been trying to describe the relationship between drilling parameters and bone injury. However, no studies have examined the le...
Significant researches exist to estimate and to contrai lhe boné drilling temperatures, hawever no published data exist regarding lhe sïress analysis during the boné drilling, mainly in the case ofhuman bonés. The inherent difficulties to thisprocess and to collect human bonés lead to a lack of information about this subject. The present study investigates the influence ofdrill speed on the stresses generation ...
O profissional de saúde tem ao seu dispor diferentes ofertas no que diz respeito à prótese do joelho, variando essencialmente a geometria e o material. Neste trabalho, utilizaram-se tomografias computorizadas de pacientes, que permitiram desenvolver modelos ósseos, para posterior inserção da prótese de joelho. Três geometrias de próteses diferentes, inseridas no modelo ósseo, vão possibilitar ter conhecimento d...
Boné fracture is a feature ofeveryday life. Most of the treatments involve boné drilling to fixation of implanted medicai devices. Boné loss due to excessive produced heat during drilling may weaken lhe purchase of surgically placed scre-ws and pins, causing them to loosen postoperatively. Decrease the heat generation hás a great demand as it helps in better fixation and healing of boné tissue. This paper prese...
The growing importance of boné surgical drilling procedures hás moíivated the development ofassessment methods aimed to preveni boné injiiry. Different studies on the parameters influencing boné drilling have been published. However, most of the results are based only in the analysis of temperatures. There is a lack of information on the mechanical damage on boné, especially about boné tissue swface integrity a...
Bone fracture is a feature of everyday life. Most of the treatments involve bone drilling to fixation of implanted medical devices.

In an ageing society it’s inevitable that the bone fractures occur with increasing frequency. Usually, the fracture treatment involves bone drilling for screw insertion to fix the fractured parts for immobilization. However, high rotational speeds may cause a high rise in bone temperature. It is generally agreed that temperatures above 55°C for a period longer than 30 seconds are deleterious to the bone tissue ...
The bone drilling is common in orthopaedic surgery. The success of this surgery is dependent on many factors, namely on the heat generation control during the bone drilling. The main concern in bone drilling is the mechanical and thermal damage induced by inappropriate parameters, as drill speed and feed-rate.
Os dentes são estruturas importantes e indispensáveis para a função mastigatória. A ausência de um ou mais dentes, pode ser um problema sério, designado por agenesia dentária. Os dentes, que começam a surgir ainda na fase de lactência, devem estar prontos para serem trocados pelos dentes permanentes entre os seis e os nove anos de idade. Na fase adulta, uma pessoa deverá apresentar na cavidade oral 32 dentes. N...
