Stability of <scp>cp‐<scp>Ti</scp></scp> and <scp><scp>Ti</scp>‐6<scp>Al</scp>‐4<scp>V</scp></scp> alloy for dental implants as a function of saliva <scp>pH</scp> – an electrochemical study

Abstract

The pH level of artificial saliva influences the corrosion behavior of cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy in that lower pH accelerates the corrosion rate and kinetics. The corrosion products may mitigate the survival rate of dental implants.
