Planted teeth with what materials

Hospital experts, dental implant is not really on the natural teeth, but by the way of medical compatibility with human bone, titanium metal precision design, manufacture into root-like cylinders or other shapes to surgery minor surgery to implant alveolar bone of the edentulous ridge, after three months later, when the artificial tooth root and alveolar bone close together, and then the production of porcelain crown on the implant. Able to withstand normal chewing forces in the dental implant looks with real teeth.

Dental implant materials?

Planting the tooth root with materials such as gold, precious stones, lead, iron, iridium, platinum, silver, and porcelain, rubber, ivory and other. With industrial development, the emergence of high strength and corrosion resistance of metal materials, such as cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium, tantalum, etc... Commonly used implant materials, titanium, coated with titanium or titanium alloy substrate. The physical and chemical properties of titanium are light, stainless steel and dental instruments high strength, good process ability with that. Wide range of applications of titanium in medical care such as artificial bones and joints, heart valves, cardiac pacemakers, dental implants, and so on. Titanium has good resistance to abrasion, corrosion resistance, and is formed on the surface oxide film, oxidation resistance at room temperature stable in the air heated oxide heated to 800 degrees or higher. Semiconducting, low modulus of elasticity similar to bone, can produce resonance, good biocompatibility, no side effects of non-toxic, non-magnetic, no stimulation, in vivo stability, wet ability, and not attached to organic matter, has a good application prospects.
