ENDODONTIC IMPLANT

Titanium is widely regarded as a suitable material for endodontic implants due to its excellent biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion. Unlike metals such as stainless steel or Vitallium titanium forms a passive oxide layer (Ti₂O₃ TiO₂) that protects it from tissue fluid-induced corrosion. This makes it less toxic and more stable in biological environments. Studies in animals and humans have shown that titanium implants are well tolerated with bone integrating into porous or threaded surfaces enhancing stability. In contrast materials like Vitallium may corrode trigger inflammatory responses or even damage adjacent anatomical structures. Thus titanium's mechanical and biological properties make it ideal for long-term dental implant success.
