Abstract: The structural integrity of any replacement has to be tested to prevent premature failure
and thus maintaining the reliability of the implant. The study on physical
properties of biomaterials now-a-days plays an important role in
understanding their nature. Our aim is the investigation of the possibility
to use microwave resonant methods for in vivo and in vitro testing of
homogeneity of dental materials. In this article, we pay attention to find
the electromagnetic properties (both dielectric parameter and scattering
parameters dependent on frequency) of explored material. We started to
measure dielectric properties of very often used material in dental practice
- poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and realize
the schemes in software simulation. Simulation allows quick and precise
analysis of the frequency dependence of scattering parameter - S11
for PMMA.
