Abstract
The objective of this research is to fabricate a novel titanium-silicon alloy including gallium biomaterial, exhibiting enhanced mechanical characteristics suitable for implantation into the physiological system. The compressive strength of dental implants is a critical factor in assessing their structural integrity and capacity to withstand occlusal stresses, also microhardness testing is an essential method for gaining useful insights into the mechanical characteristics of materials used in dental implants, so these two tests were used to examine the mechanical properties of the samples.The objective of this research is to fabricate a novel titanium-silicon alloy including gallium biomaterial, exhibiting enhanced mechanical characteristics suitable for implantation into the physiological system.
