Evaluation of Blood Titanium Levels and Total Bone Contact Area of Dental Implants

Baykus [22] investigated the effects of mini-plates and screws used in orthognathic surgery on the titanium levels of distant organs such as hair and nails. Samples were collected 14 to 96 months postoperatively. Analysis of samples revealed a significant increase in hair and nail titanium levels. Hair titanium levels in implant patients were 7 times higher than in control group. Nail titanium levels in implant patients were also significantly higher than in control group. The authors suggested that these significant increases in hair and nail titanium levels could have resulted from titanium-based implants placed in the patients.
