Article Abstract
The nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy implant materials produced by using the laser powder bed melting (LPBF) technique exhibit significant potential for application. The coating modification method can further enhance the surface biological functions of the alloy implants. This study presents a coating of calcium dihydrogen phosphate, siloxane, and chitosan (DCPD-PMTMS-CS) applied to the surface of NiTi alloys through electrochemical deposition and dip coating methods. This coating enhances the biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial properties of the alloy's surface. The findings indicate that the corrosion current density decreases (from 1.5 × 10 to 1.2 × 10 A/cm), demonstrating a significant improvement compared to bare NiTi alloy. Furthermore, the cell vitality reached an impressive 108%. Additionally, the antibacterial efficacy against and exceeded 70%, effectively mitigating the risk of postoperative infections. The DCPD-PMTMS-CS composite coating holds promise for facilitating the broader application of LPBF-NiTi in the medical implantation sector.

Purpose Improved superelastic nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy wires (ISWs) can be used not only for aligning but also for closing the extraction space. The objective of this study was to measure and compare the force and moment generated during mandibular molar protraction using an ISW combined with either short or long hooks under simulated crowded dentition conditions. Materials and methods Assuming crowded dentition following mandibular first premolar extraction, we designed a three-tooth model simulating the canine, the second premolar, and the first molar.

The properties of architected materials, such as origami, kirigami, and lattice materials, are determined by the intrinsic properties of the base material and the designed architecture. It is shown that van der Waals interaction between the elements of the architecture is critical for the mechanical properties of nano-architected triangular graphene. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that interplay between the flexibility and high Young's modulus of graphene, the designed architecture, and the van der Waals interaction between graphene ligaments results in a shape memory effect with a specific energy dissipation of more than 25 times that of the well-known shape memory alloy NiTi.

The biocompatibility of orthodontic archwires is crucial for ensuring patient safety and the long-term success of orthodontic treatment. This study evaluated the biocompatibility of stainless steel (SS) and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) orthodontic archwires, as well as stainless steel metal brackets, before and after the application of a graphene coating. The assessment was based on the materials' effects on a fibroblast cell line and on the development of a foetal chicken egg embryo.

This study aimed to compare the clinical durability, mechanical performance, and stress behavior of three NiTi rotary systems-BlueShaper (Blue), BlueShaper Pro (Dual Wire), and BlueShaper Gold (fully gold-treated NiTi)-through a multimodal evaluation that included simulated instrumentation in 3D-printed replicas, mechanical testing, and finite element analysis (FEA). Sixty instruments (n = 20 per group) were tested. Simulated canal preparation was conducted in standardized 3D-printed mandibular molars with a 40° mesial root curvature until fracture occurred.

Hydrogen fuel cell bipolar plates demand surfaces with an atomically smooth morphology and stable electrochemical interfaces to minimize contact resistance and corrosion degradation. While nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys offer inherent advantages for this role, their practical deployment is hindered by persistent surface defects (e.g.
