Electrochemical Behavior of Ti6Al4V Alloy Used in Dental Implants Immersed in and Solutions.

The titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V, is used in dentistry for dental implants because of its excellent resistance to corrosion and its high biocompatibility. However, periimplantitis is considered the main reason for treatment failure. The Ti6Al4V alloy was used to study the corrosion behavior for dental implant applications, using an experimental arrangement of three electrodes with the bacteria and , in addition to Ringer's lactate as electrolytes, at 37 °C and a pH of 5.
