Thermal Analysis of Some Prosthetic Dental Biomaterials Processed by Selective Laser Melting

The paper presents a new technique for obtaining dental prostheses with special properties – selective laser deposition. A mathematical model will be analyzed regarding the thermal characteristics of the additive technology by selective laser melting, which will deduce the temperature, the thermal velocity and the thermal acceleration during the process. Three different biocompatible materials - titanium alloy, Co-Cr alloy and stainless steel will be considered. It will also study the influence of important parameters on thermal characteristics in order to obtain prostheses with conforming properties.
