1. Performance Comparison of Dental Bearing Materials and In-Depth Analysis of Technical Parameters

1.1 Comparison of Biocompatibility and Wear Resistance Coefficient of Stainless Steel/Ceramic/Polymer Materials

Biocompatibility dimension: Ceramic materials (such as zirconium oxide) show level 0 cytotoxicity (ISO 10993 standard), and the surface ion precipitation rate is ≤0.02μg/cm²/24h, which is significantly better than 316L stainless steel (0.15μg/cm²/24h) and PEEK polymer (0.08μg/cm²/24h).
Actual wear resistance: In the 50N load simulation experiment, the linear wear of silicon nitride ceramics is only 1.2μm/10,000 times, which is 72% lower than that of cobalt-chromium alloy; the wear rate of PTFE polymer in a wet environment increases by 300%, and there is a risk of microparticle shedding.

1.2 Practical Significance of Dynamic Load and Static Load Indicators in Equipment Selection

Root canal motor bearing selection case: Dynamic load must meet >180N (ISO 2157 standard), corresponding to the contact stress distribution model under 15,000rpm working conditions; static load must be >800N to cope with sudden mechanical shock in clinical operations.
Thermodynamic coupling analysis: In a 45℃ saline environment, the dynamic load of high-speed mobile phone bearings needs to increase by an additional 20% safety factor to compensate for the change in material elastic modulus.

1.3 Special Requirements for Material Corrosion Resistance in High-Temperature and High-Pressure Sterilization Processes

134℃ high-pressure sterilization challenges: The surface passivation film of stainless steel materials exhibits intergranular corrosion after >200 sterilization cycles. Low-carbon martensitic steel certified by ASTM F138 is recommended.
Chemical residue control: Hydrogen peroxide low-temperature plasma sterilization requires material porosity <0.01% and polymer materials must pass ISO 22442 animal-derived component testing.
