What are the dangers of implants from different manufacturers

Dental implants are made of medical grade titanium. This metal is inert to the natural tissues of the body, does not cause oxidation and other negative reactions. But in the manufacture of titanium alloys, a small percentage of impurities is allowed, and each element has its own electrochemical potential and bioactivity. When installing implants of different brands, metals-impurities in the acidic environment of the mouth may not combine, causing allergies, galvanic syndrome ("battery effect" in the mouth), rejection of the design.

Materials for implants

To create implants, metals not subject to corrosion, electrochemical reactions, neutral to the surrounding tissues are used. This is titanium and its alloys - a strong, lightweight material, resistant to corrosion, bioinert, contributing to the rapid formation of bone around the implant.

Manufacturers use different grades of titanium for implant constructions. In Russia they use tech…

Implantation is a method of dental rehabilitation of patients who suffer from the absence of teeth. The essence of the method is that a titanium root is inserted in place of the lost unit. Its surface is gradually overgrown with bone tissue and the implant begins to perform all the functions of a living root: it takes on the chewing load, stimulates tissue metabolism, significantly slows down the loss of bone.
