In Vitro Corrosion Behaviour of Metallic Dental Materials

Abstract:

Typical applications of metallic dental materials include metal-ceramic restorations, dental implants or orthodontic systems. Due to their contact with human tissues, corrosion resistance is one of the main requirements for dental materials. In the present paper, the corrosion behaviour in Fusayama Meyer artificial saliva solution (pH=5.2) on a selection of four different metallic dental materials (316 L steel, Au based alloy, cp-Ti, Ti6Al4V alloy) currently used in dentistry were investigated. The metallic dental materials have been investigated in terms of electrochemical analysis, chemical composition, morphology before and after corrosion, wettability and roughness. The results showed a hydrophilic behaviour in the case of Au based alloy, cp-Ti and Ti6Al4V alloy, and hydrophobic for 316L stainless steel. Considering the main electrochemical parameters, the cp-Ti alloy exhibited better corrosion resistance in artificial saliva with pH=5.2, followed by Au based alloy, Ti6Al4V alloy and 316L stainless steel. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the corrosion behaviour, as in important factor in the selection of metallic materials used in dentistry.
