The long-term success of titanium osseointegrated implants in periodontally healthy patients has been documented in various studies [1]. However, additional data are still needed to confirm the long-term predictability of dental implants in general. Titanium and titanium alloys are commonly used as dental implant materials. The process of integration of titanium with bone has been firstly termed by Brånemark [2] as “osseointegration”. Currently, most of the commercially available implant systems are made of pure titanium or titanium alloy. However, even though titanium alloys were exceptionally corrosion-resistant because of the stability of the TiO2 oxide layer, they are not passive to corrosive attack [3]. Moreover, one of the most famous problems regarding titanium is hypersensitivity [4,5].
