Abstract
Metallic materials utilized for the construction of intra-oral and implant dental restorations include a wide range of relatively pure metals and multicomponent alloys. Basic corrosion and biodegradation properties of these alloys have been studied by both in vitro and in vivo techniques. These property characteristics have been shown to be dependent on composition and metallurgical state, combinations within a construct, surface conditions, mechanical aspects of function, and the local and systemic host environment. The susceptibility of these metallic materials to various forms of biodegradation will be presented, with emphasis on corrosion.Keywords
