Where does titanium-zirconium alloy come from?
85% titanium is a silvery-white metal with strong hardness and stability. It is non-toxic, has natural antibacterial and biophilic properties, and is the most ideal metal material for human implants to date. 15% zirconium is a light gray metal that belongs to the same family as titanium. It has the same corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and high strength as titanium. It has light permeability and good aesthetic effects similar to real teeth. Titanium-zirconium alloy 85% is a new alloy material that perfectly combines the advantages of titanium and zirconium. It has better mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and is widely used in aerospace, ships, medicine and oral fields.
Why is titanium-zirconium an excellent material for implants?
Compared with pure titanium: Higher fatigue strength Higher strength means that the diameter of the implant that can be used clinically is thinner, avoiding bone grafting while achieving true 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 mouth and ensure the strength and aesthetics of the restoration. Better surface properties are more conducive to cell attachment, and the differentiation process of osteoblasts on titanium zirconium alloy is also faster. Better biocompatibility Better biocompatibility, no adverse reactions such as allergic reactions and gum swelling and congestion, safer and more reliable.
