| 20100009319 | ALLOY AND COMPOSITION FOR ENDODONTIC TREATMENT - Provided is an alloy for endodontic treatment that can solve a problem of a conventional nitinol alloy. The nitinol alloy has poor mechanical characteristics, such as, tensile strength, yield strength, and elastic modulus and low suitability to a human body. The alloy for endodontic treatment is a Ti-aNb-bSi-based alloy or a Ti-aNb-bGe-based alloy by including silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge) in addition to a binary alloy of titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb). The alloy for endodontic treatment suggested in the present invention has a small elastic modulus, excellent mechanical characteristics and high suitability to a human body. Moreover, since the strength and flexibility of the alloy can be adjusted selectively, the optimal treatment effect can be acquired according to the conditions of a patient. | 01-14-2010 |
