A Critical Review of Orthopaedic and Dental Implant Materials

In terms of dental and orthopedic implantation materials for human being, properties like moderate elastic modulus, good strength with wear and corrosion resistivity, and highly biocompatibility are always desirable characteristics. Titanium and its different alloys are broadly used as a material of implant because of its unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. These implants may fail led by a combination of corrosion, stress, and bacteria. This article highlights as a review of titanium (Ti) and its alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with emphasis to various mechanical properties to the biological environment such as in the field of dentistry and orthopedic. This article will be helpful in exploration in the domain of implant materials.
