4. Tribocorrosion of dental implants
Tribocorrosion, which is caused by the dual action of wear and corrosion, can occur under a variety of conditions (sliding, wear due to small deflections, rolling, impact) in a corrosive environment.
Tribocorrosion studies on titanium, its untreated alloys and alloys with treated surfaces under sliding conditions are shown in Tables
1
and
2
. In general, tribocorrosion work is focused on the evaluation of surface treatments (table
3
), which improve the wear and corrosion performance of materials (Ti6Al4V or Cp-Ti), and on the analysis of...
