Specifications and Constraints General Constraints
small and light enough to operate on a tabletop clean and quiet enough to operate indoors at the
BioHorizons offices Able to perform fatigue tests as well as static load tests Control system and sensors must measure failure load and
cycles to failure and discontinue operation at this point Entire system must be able to be calibrated accurately
enough for continuous operation within ISO 14801 specifications and constraints
Economic Constraints to produce a fatigue testing machine that can be reproduced
and used for less than it currently costs to have the dental implants tested from an outside company
ISO Standards ISO provides more specific specifications and constraints in ISO
14801—Dentistry—Fatigue test for endosseous dental implants Several of the more pertinent specifiations are covered below,
obtained from the ISO document: The testing machine should be capable of applying the
specified load with an error not exceeding ± 5% at maximum load.
The endosseous dental implant shall be clamped such that it makes a 30° ± 1° angle with the loading direction of the testing machine.
The device shall clamp the specimen at a distance 3.0 mm ± 0.1 mm apically from the nominal bone level as specified in the manufacturer’s instruction for use.
ISO Standards (continued) More constraints and specifications:
The dimensions of the loading member shall be chosen to define a distance l = 11.0 mm ± 0.1 mm from the centre of the hemisphere to the clamping plane.
For endosseous dental implants that include materials in which corrosion fatigue has been reported or is expected to occur…testing shall be carried out in water of Grade 2 according to ISO 3696, in normal saline [.09%]* or in physiologic medium. The fluid and the test specimen shall be kept at 37°C ± 2°C during the testing.
Fatigue testing shall be carried out with a unidirectional load. The load shall vary sinusoidally between a nominal peak value and 10 % of this value. The loading frequency shall be ≤ 15 Hz. Testing in liquid media shall be conducted at frequencies ≤ 2 Hz.

Advantages Long life Excellent precision and
reliability Ease in varying load and
frequency Low maintenance Easy setup Small number of parts Conduct static and
fatigue tests without changing setup
Disadvantages Initial costs are high Replacement parts would
be high Possible motor cooling
may need to be addressed
Different inserts need to be tapped for each implant tested

Standards
ISO 14801:2003 5.4 Testing Environment
testing shall be carried out in water of Grade 2 according to ISO 3696
fluid and the test specimen shall be kept at 37 °C+2°C or -2 °C
Heating Element Compact Cartridge-Style Immersion Heater
1 5/8" long type 316 stainless steel element Maximum temperature of 100° C CSA Certified and UL-Registered Can be fully immerged in saline solution
Temperature switch Submersible Cartridge Temperature Switch
Operates as a thermostat 300 series stainless steel outer shell adjusted between -73° and +315° C 2” long element UL-Registered
Search continues to refine this component
Water Level Switch Vertical-Mount Liquid-Level Switch
Maintain a safe water level for the Immersion heating element
Over all length of 1 7/8“ Max temperature rating of 105°C When the fluid level drops too low
cut power to the heating element turn on a warning light or trigger a
system warning in the testing program letting the tester know to add more fluid
Linear Servo Motor
Handles static loading up to 500 lbf. Handles a cycling load from 0 to 150 lbf. at a
rate up to 15 Hz
Load Cell Piezoelectric sensing
cell Highly repeatable Fatigue Rated load cell Low profile to fit easily
within machine
Controls Load cell sends a signal through a DAQ card to
LabView LabView takes the data and depending on the load it
will send a signal to the Driver which will in turn increase or decrease the current

Alternative Design
Advantages Cheap saline bath
container Rotary motor is cheaper
than linear motor
Disadvantages Bearings
(maintenance) Expensive to machine Small error in load cell
reading due to the bearing friction
Angle of applied force will be less reliable
Complicated – many possible places for failure
