Titanium and Titanium Alloys as Biomaterials

Casting of Titanium Alloys for Dental Applications

In dentistry, gold-based noble metal alloys have traditionally been cast into various types of dental prostheses, such as partial dentures, crowns, and bridges. More recently, less expensive dental alloys with base-metal elements, such as Co-Cr and Ni-Cr, have been used. Titanium is considered to be an attractive alternative to these traditional dental alloys because of its remarkable lack of t...

Dental implant materials: commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys.

Manufacturers use six different titanium-based biomaterials to fabricate dental implants. Each of these materials, including four grades of commercially pure titanium and two titanium alloys, has distinct mechanical and physical properties. Clinicians should recognize these differences for optimal treatment planning and patient care.

Titanium Alloys

Although originally discovered in the 18th century [1], the titanium industry did not experience any significant advancement until the middle of the 20th century through the development of the gas turbine engine [2]. Since then, the aerospace sector has dominated worldwide titanium use with applications in both engines and airframe structures [3]. The highly desirable combination of properties,...

Binary titanium alloys as dental implant materials—a review

Titanium (Ti) has been used for long in dentistry and medicine for implant purpose. During the years, not only the commercially pure Ti but also some alloys such as binary and tertiary Ti alloys were used. The aim of this review is to describe and compare the current literature on binary Ti alloys, including Ti-Zr, Ti-In, Ti-Ag, Ti-Cu, Ti-Au, Ti-Pd, Ti-Nb, Ti-Mn, Ti-Mo, Ti-Cr, Ti-Co, Ti-Sn, Ti-...
