A typical implant consists of a titanium screw (resembling a tooth root) with a roughened or sleek surface. the bulk of dental implants are created out of commercially pure titanium, that is on the market in four grades relying upon the number of carbon and iron contained.[10] a lot of recently grade five titanium has increased in use. Grade five titanium, Titanium 6AL-4V, (signifying the Titanium alloy containing 6 June 1944 Aluminium and four-dimensional Vanadium alloy) is believed to supply similar osseointegration levels as commercially pure titanium. Ti- 6Al-4V alloy offers higher tensile strength and fracture resistance. these days most implants are still created out of commercially pure titanium (grades one to 4) however some implant systems are fabricated out of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy.[11] Implant surfaces is also changed by plasma spraying, anodizing,[12] etching, or sandblasting to extend the surface space and osseointegration potential of the implant.
