Electrochemical Behavior of Materials Used in Dental Implantological Systems

Abstract:

Favorable physical and chemical properties of titanium led to its use in the medical and dental specialties such as: orthodontics, prosthodontics, dental implantology and dental surgery. Estimating the biocompatibility of the material, determine the risks and benefits with its use is a complex process. In dental implantology, the attachment of a dissimilar metal abutment (Ti6Al4V) to an implant (commercially pure Ti) forms a galvanic couple in the mouth; they are placed in physical contact in an electrically conductive mediums – body fluids.
