EndoLab offers customized wear testing for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) implants using the proprietary EndoLab\u00ae A3R simulator. The test setup enables implant components to be evaluated under dynamic, chewing-like conditions and supports manufacturers in generating meaningful performance data for development, verification, and regulatory documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since no standardized wear testing protocol for TMJ implants is currently available, EndoLab works closely with the client to define a suitable test setup based on the intended application, implant design, and project requirements. The simulator applies rotational movements in the sagittal and transverse planes, along with anterior-posterior translation. Movement angles, loading conditions, cycle numbers, and further test parameters can be flexibly adapted to client-specific requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing is typically performed for 5 million cycles under static loading in a fluid medium representative of human synovial fluid, providing a realistic basis for assessing wear behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To deliver a more comprehensive understanding of implant performance, EndoLab can also provide additional analyses upon request. These include gravimetric wear determination, wear particle characterization<\/a>, and quantification of metal ions<\/a> released into the test fluid.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":""},"dental-implant-taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-11251","dental-implants","type-dental-implants","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Theresa Kaddick","author_link":"https:\/\/endolab.org\/de\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"EndoLab offers customized wear testing for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) implants using the proprietary EndoLab\u00ae A3R simulator.
