Abstract:
Titanium has emerged as a fundamental material in various aspects of dentistry due to its exceptional properties, including biocompatibility, strength, and corrosion resistance. This abstract provides an overview of the application of titanium in dentistry, focusing on its role in dental implants, orthodontic appliances, prosthetic components, and other clinical applications. Titanium dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement by offering stable and durable solutions that promote osseointegration and preserve bone health. In orthodontics, titanium alloys are utilized for brackets, wires, and other appliances, providing strength and flexibility for efficient tooth movement. Additionally, titanium-based prosthetic components, such as crowns and bridges, offer reliable restorative options with lifelike aesthetics and long-term durability. The versatility of titanium continues to drive advancements in dental materials and technologies, with ongoing research efforts focused on enhancing surface properties, exploring novel alloys, and integrating digital workflows. As titanium remains at the forefront of dental materials science, its widespread application underscores its significance in improving patient outcomes and advancing oral healthcare.
