Two Faculty Members from Hawija Technical Institute Publish a Scientific Review Article in a Reputable International Journal

In line with the wise directives of the President of the Northern Technical University, Prof. Dr. Alya Abbas Al-Attar, aimed at boosting scientific and research activities among academic staff across university institutions, and driven by the commitment of Hawija Technical Institute to support scientific research and elevate the quality of academic output:

Two faculty members from Hawija Technical Institute—Dr. Shahad Fadhil Bunyan (Department of Forensic Evidence Techniques) and Asst. Lect. Hassan Ibrahim Saleh (Department of Oil and Gas Refining Techniques)—have successfully published a scientific review article in the Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants. This reputable international journal specializes in medical implants, is indexed in the Scopus database, and is classified as a Q2 journal with a CiteScore of 2.3.

The review article is titled:

“Chemical Analysis of Metal Ion Release from Implant-Supported Prosthodontic Components: A Comprehensive Review of Corrosion and Biocompatibility”

The review examines the latest studies and scientific literature on the release of metal ions from implant-supported prosthodontic components due to corrosion in the oral environment. It analyzes key factors influencing this phenomenon, including pH variations, microbial activity, and mechanical stress. Additionally, it highlights advanced analytical techniques used to detect and measure metal ion concentrations—such as ICP-MS, AAS, and XPS—while discussing the biocompatibility and biological effects of ions released from alloys used in dental implants.

The significance of this review lies in offering a comprehensive, updated scientific perspective that synthesizes and evaluates published research in the field. This deepens the understanding of corrosion mechanisms, metal ion release, and their biological impacts, helping drive the development of materials with superior corrosion resistance and enhanced biocompatibility. Ultimately, this work supports improving the efficiency and clinical longevity of dental implants while guiding future research toward safer, more effective materials and technologies in medical applications.

This achievement underscores Hawija Technical Institute’s dedication to supporting scientific research and encouraging publication in high-impact international journals, further elevating the academic standing of Northern Technical University in international scientific forums.

Congratulations to the researchers on this scientific accomplishment, with best wishes for their continued success, excellence, and further contributions to the academic community.
