CORROSION IN TITANIUM DENTAL IMPLANTS

Titanium has long been regarded as an inert and biocompatible metal, ideal for biomedical applications such as dental implants or joint replacements. however, concerns about the biocompatibility of ti have lately arisen. in spite of recent innovative metallurgical and technological advances and remarkable progress in the design and development of surgical and dental materials, failures do occur. one of the reasons for these failures can be corrosion of dental implants. when the mechanisms that ensure implant bioacceptance and structural stabilization are fully understood, implant failures will become a rare occurrence, provided that they are used properly and placed in sites for which they are indicated. the article is presented keeping in view of carrying out different studies for titanium dental implant and alloys and aims to evaluate galvanic corrosion around developed titanium dental implants.
