Are increased Levels of Dissolved Titanium Associated With Peri-Implantitis - A Case-Control Study?
Greater levels of dissoluted titanium were detected in submucosal plaque around implants with peri-implantitis when compared to healthy implants, indicating an association between Ti 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.
