Understanding Titanium Implant Corrosion and Hypersensitivity Reactions in Dentistry

Posted: November 22, 2024
The article explores the impact of titanium implant corrosion on hypersensitivity reactions and implant failure in dentistry. Titanium particles can trigger immune responses leading to corrosion, osteolysis, and organ tissue effects. Metal allergy testing is recommended to choose the right implant material. Zirconia emerges as a promising alternative to titanium, offering non-corrosive properties and lower immune response induction. Dental professionals should consider these findings for optimal implant material selection to minimize adverse cellular effects locally and systemically.
