The use of polymeric materials (PMs) and polymeric films (PMFs) has increased in medicine
and dentistry. This increasing interest is attributed to not only the excellent surfaces of PMs …

Objectives The presence of titanium (Ti) particles around dental implants has been reported
in the literature for decades. The prospective presence of Ti debris on soft tissues …

Objectives Dental peri‐implantitis is characterized by a multifactorial etiology. The role of
metal elements as an etiological factor for peri‐implantitis is still unclear. The aim of this …

Objective Commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) and Ti–6Al–4V (Ti G5) alloy have limitations for
biomedical application, due to lower mechanical strength and the possibility of ion release …

Dental implants are fully placed in the bone in order to replace the natural root of the tooth
and allow the installation of a dental prosthesis. The implant has gained importance with the …

The use of artificial implants provides a palliative or permanent solution for individuals who
have lost some bodily function through disease, an accident or natural wear. This functional …

Objectives Grade V titanium alloy (Ti‐6Al‐4 V) is a well‐recognized metallic biomaterial for
medical implants. There has been some controversy regarding the use of this alloy in …

Degradation of the implant surface and particle release/formation as an inflammation
catalyst mechanism is an emerging concept in dental medicine that may help explain the …

Objectives Metallic element release during implant placement can lead to mucositis and peri-
implantitis. Here, using ex vivo porcine mandibles, the release of metallic elements into the …

Miniscrews are used as orthodontic anchorage devices in the dentistry clinical practice but
the in vivo metallic release from these structures has been not previously investigated. The …
