Dental implantation titanium

The issue has been raised of whether oral lithium therapy was responsible for failure of titanium dental implants in a 62-year-old man (353).

This paper covers the deposition and characterization of monolayers of dodecyl phosphate, 12-hydroxy-dodecyl phosphate, and a mixture of the two from aqueous solutions of their ammonium salts onto three different substrates titanium oxide and titanium metal films, deposited by physical vapor deposition onto glass and silicon substrates (serving as smooth, flat model surfaces), and a special titanium dental implant surface with a rough, highly corrugated surface. The aim of the present investigation is twofold first, to describe the physicochemical and structural properties of the single-component and mixed SAMs on titanium (oxide), and second, to test the...

In one case, facial eczema occurred after titanium dental implantation, with complete remission after removal [84 ]. In another case, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) occurred in a previously healthy 19-year-old man after insertion of a titanium bioprosthesis for a spinal fracture [85 ].

Hydroxyapaite, the mineral constituent of bone, is appHed to the surfaces of many dental implants for the purpose of increasing initial bone growth. Some iavestigators beHeve that an added benefit is that the hydroxyapatite shields the bone from the metal. However, titanium and its aHoy, Ti-6A1-4V, are biocompatible and have anchored successfuHy as dental implants without the hydroxyapatite coating. 

Surface preparation of the dental implant prior to implantation wiH have an effect on corrosion behavior, initial metal ion release, and interface tissue response (316). The titanium and titanium aHoy dental implants in present use have many forms to assist bone ingrowth attachment including cylinders with holes, screw threaded surfaces, porous surfaces, and other types of roughened surfaces. Methods used to produce porous surfaces iaclude arc plasma... 

Titanium and its compounds are nontoxic and immune to attack by body fluids. These features account for the use of the metal in knee and hip replacements as well as dental implants. 

The first ever injectable crude biomaterial, that is a dental implant, appeared early in ad 6oo (Fig. 12.1). During those times, Mayan people trimmed seashells into artificial teeth to replace missing teeth (Michael, 2006 Ratner et al., 2004). Early biomaterials also led to problems, including sterilization, toxicity, inflammation, and immunological issues. Since the Mayan s initial use of artificial teeth, biomaterials have evolved to be used in modem artificial hearts, hip and knee pros-theses, artificial kidneys, and breast implants. Materials used in these applications include titanium, silicons, polyurethanes, teflon, polybiodegradable polymers, and most recently bio-nanomaterials (Pearce et al., 2007)... 

Although titanium has a large positive E° for oxidation, and T dust will burn in air, the bulk metal is remarkably immune to corrosion because its surface becomes coated with a thin, protective oxide film. Titanium objects are inert to seawater, nitric acid, hot aqueous NaOH, and even to aqueous chlorine gas. Titanium is therefore used in chemical plants, in desalination equipment, and in numerous other industrial processes that demand inert, noncorrosive materials. Because it is nontoxic and inert to body fluids, titanium is even used for manufacturing artificial joints and dental implants. 

Titaiuum is a silvery ductile metal with important industrial uses because it is less dense than iron, much stronger than aluminum, and almost as corrosion resistant as platinum. This rare combination of properties makes it ideal for a variety of uses, particularly in engines, aircraft frames, marine equipment, and industrial plants. Titanium metal and alloys also replace bone and serve in dental implants. At normal... 

Diamond has potential application as human implant coatings because it fulfills the main requisites for use in human implants biocompatibility and chemical stability. In vitro studies of stimulation of human monocytes by diamond particles have shown encouraging results.Diamond coatings have been deposited on surgically implantable substrates such as ceramics used in dental implants, stainless steel, titanium and molybdenum used for prosthetic devices,etc.

Gas detonation spraying of hydroxyapatite yielded thick coatings with remarkable properties (Klyui et al., 2011). The coating thickness reached during only 20 s of spraying was 280 pm. Adhesion strength to a titanium substrate was up to 80 MPa, and no decomposition phases were observed by XRD. The stems of hip endoprosthetic implants and acetabular cups as well as dental implants...

Jones and Pickard 1980). Titanium tetra-fluoride, when used in a dinical trial, prevented caries to a greater extent than did acidulated phosphate fluoride (Clarkson and Wefel 1978, Mundorff et al. 1972, Reed and Bibby 1976, Shrestha et al. 1972, Wei et al. 1976). Porous-surfaced titanium alloy dental implant systems were also tested and used in animals and man (Deporter et al. 1986a,b).
