Mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a novel miniscrew made of Zr70Ni16Cu6Al8 bulk metallic glass for orthodontic anchorage

Abstract The purpose of the present study was to fabricate a miniscrew possible for clinical application using Zr70Ni16Cu6Al8 bulk metallic glass (BMG), which has high mechanical strength, low elastic modulus, and high biocompatibility. First, the elastic moduli of Zr-based metallic glass rods made...
