Where does titanium zirconium alloy come from?
Titanium metal is 85% silvery white metal, which has strong hardness and stability, non-toxicity, natural bacteriostasis and hydrophilicity, and is the most ideal metal material for human implantation so far. 15% 15% zirconium metal is light gray metal. It belongs to the same family as titanium and has the same characteristics as titanium, such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and high strength. It has light transmittance similar to real teeth and good aesthetic effect. Titanium-zirconium alloy is a new alloy material, which perfectly combines the advantages of titanium and zirconium. It has good mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and is widely used in aerospace, shipping, medicine and dentistry.
Why is titanium zirconium an excellent material for implants?
Compared with pure titanium, higher anti-fatigue strength and higher strength mean that the diameter of clinically available implants is smaller, which avoids bone grafting and realizes real minimally invasive implantation. Stronger corrosion resistance, the oxide on the surface of titanium zirconium alloy has stronger corrosion resistance and stability, which can prevent the implant from corroding in the oral cavity and ensure the strength and beauty of the prosthesis. Better surface properties are more conducive to cell adhesion, and the differentiation process of osteoblasts on titanium zirconium alloy is also faster. Better biocompatibility, better biocompatibility, no adverse reactions such as allergic reaction, gingival swelling, congestion, etc., which is safer and more reliable.
