Analysis of serum metal ion levels in dental implant patients

Background: Dental implants have been widely used for the replacement of missing teeth in fully and partially edentulous patients. Titanium (Ti) has material choice dental due to its superior corrosion resistance behaviour desirable mechanical properties. Hence; present study was undertaken assessing serum metal ion levels Implant Patients. Materials & methods: A total 20 subjects with mandibular first molar scheduled prosthetic rehabilitation same using implant therapy were enrolled. Blood samples obtained at baseline sent laboratory where auto-analyser evaluation ions levels. All procedures carried out under hands skilled implantologists. After placement implants, blood 8 weeks 6 months follow-up. Metal assessed subsequent follow-ups. results analysed by SPSS software. Results: Mean titanium concentration baseline, fond be 2.39 mg/dL, 2.35 mg/dL 2.38 respectively. aluminium 4.19 4.16 4.18
