Abstract
➤ All metals in contact with biological systems undergo corrosion. This electrochemical process leads to the formation of metal ions, which may activate the immune system by forming complexes with endogenous proteins.➤ Implant degradation products have been shown to be associated with dermatitis, urKeywords
