ABSTRACT
Objective: This systematic review seeks to analyze the impact of the concentration, size, and location of corrosion particles on oral tissues and different surface treatments of implants to increase their durability in the oral cavity.
Methodology: An electronic search was conducted using the database of PubMed. In addition, manual search of the papers cited in relevant studies was also undertaken. Only human studies published in the last decade were included.
Conclusion: This study concluded that apart from established functional and metabolic factors, implants also undergo wear and tribocorrosion when subjected to the oral environment. These tribological factors not only contribute to the eventual failure of implants but also instigate certain biological responses.
Keywords: Corrosion, Allergy, Hypersensitivity, Implant, Dental Implant
