Özet

Titanium has become a material of great interest in prosthodontics in recent years because of its excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and desirable physical and mechanical properties. In this study, we determined the influence of dental cements on the passivation of titanium. We developed experimental electrodes that associate titanium and dental cements. Polarization resistance of titanium electrodes has been determined for uncovered metal and electrodes covered with five different dental cements. Coverage with zinc eugenate led to more resistance to corrosion, but fluorinated composite such as glass-ionomer and zinc phosphate coverage increased the corrosion susceptibility.
