Increased Levels of Dissolved Titanium Are Associated With Peri‐Implantitis – A Cross‐Sectional Study

Abstract

Greater levels of dissolved titanium were detected in submucosal plaque around implants with peri-implantitis compared with healthy implants, indicating an association between titanium dissolution and peri-implantitis. Factors triggering titanium dissolution, as well as the role of titanium corrosion in the peri-implant inflammatory process, warrant further investigation.
