Application of Titanium and Titanium Alloy in Dental Technology
With the rapid development of modernization, the application requirements of materials in medical field are more and more stringent. Because titanium and titanium alloy materials have many fusions with human body, bone necrosis in surgery, dental implants, porcelain teeth and materials of many therapeutic instruments are required. Medical treatment should be based on titanium and titanium alloys. More and more. Because of its advantages, small proportion, close to the proportion of human bone, high strength and strong corrosion resistance, it is an ideal and safe medical material.
Properties of Titanium
Pure titanium is a silver-gray metal with a small specific gravity and a density of 4.5g/cm3.
Titanium has excellent mechanical properties. The hardness of blunt titanium is moderate, between the hardness of dentin and enamel. Good ductility.
Titanium has good corrosion resistance.
Excellent biocompatibility is one of the important reasons why titanium is widely used in medical field.
Titanium is semi-refractive to X-ray
Poor Castability of Titanium
After understanding the properties of titanium and titanium alloys, we find that their advantages are great. Titanium and titanium alloys are not only used in dental field, but also in industry. As a modern metal, they have excellent properties.
