Dental implant materials: commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys

J Prosthodont. 1999 Mar;8(1):40-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1532-849x.1999.tb00006.x.

Abstract

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.
