Why Titanium is the best alloy for Dental Implants.

Introduction
Dental implants are tooth root replacements that are capped with ceramic dental crowns that replace a patient's original tooth or set of teeth. There is a range of dental implant options available from single tooth replacement, to All-On-Four replacement and Zygoma Implants, each designed to treat patients with varying needs for tooth replacement.
An implant is a device used to help replace a biological structure that has been damaged due to trauma or bone and cartilage disorders (e.g., osteoporosis). Medical implants can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as breast implants. The main focus for this article is surgical metal implants and their application.
Over the past few decades, dental implants have become a reliable way to restore missing teeth. During this period, the materials used for dental implants have been extensively researched and the understanding of how the physical and chemical properties affect the clinical outcome of treatment has considerably improved. These properties include the surface composition and the microstructure of an implant. Ideally, implant materials should be biocompatible and resistant to both corrosion and to fracturing. Implants can be made from titanium or from zirconium. They must demonstrate adequate toughness and strength, and the design of the implant needs to be compatible with its physical properties.

What is Titanium-Based Dental Implants
Since the introduction of titanium alloys for the purpose around 1981, there has been a marked increase in the use of dental implants to replace lost teeth in patients (Hong & Oh, 2017 and Shemtov-yona & Rittel, 2015). The most common reason for tooth loss in adults is periodontal disease, though other causes, such as trauma and developmental defects, may also lead to it (Hong & Oh, 2017). Modern titanium-based dental implants have high success rates and are only rarely associated with complications or failure (Hon
