Titanium is an ideal material for use in prosthodontics because of its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength combined with its lightweight. Recently the use of titanium and titanium alloys for fixed restorations has increased substantially, mainly due to the improvement of techniques for the casting titanium and its alloys. This article reviewed the studies on titanium...

A klímaváltozás hatása az élet minden területén jelen van, ezáltal napjaink egyik legjelentősebb problémája. Kialakulásának fő oka a légkörbe kibocsátott szén-dioxid (CO2) mennyisége, ami üvegházhatáson keresztül befolyásolja jelenlegi éghajlatunkat. környezetkárosítás csökkentése érdekében ismerni szükséges keletkezésének helyeit, környezetre gyakorolt károsító hatásait, üvegházhatást, ökológi...

objective(s):anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. we have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of h9c2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  materials and methods: surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (sem). control...

titanium salts are widely used in pharmacy and industry as intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints , paper , toothpaste , plastics and food dye s. this ion is a redox-active transition metal and may cause oxidative damages to lipids, proteins and dna molecules. in spite of abundant literature, questions about the side effects of titanium ions still remain to be answ...

Although fluoride induces corrosion in titanium in an oral environment, the influence of protein on this corrosion remains to be clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate suppression of fluoride-induced corrosion of titanium where albumin was either present in a solution or where albumin was preadsorbed on titanium. Titanium dissolution in titanium specimens and surface characte...

There are very few reports on hypersensitivity reactions in association with titanium-based materials so that the existence of allergy to titanium is still put in question. We report on a patient in whom impaired fracture healing and eczema localized to the perioperative area developed upon titanium-based osteosynthesis. Patch testing gave no reactions to titanium nor to nickel, chromium, or co...
