Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate, in different experimental conditions, the galvanic corrosion phenomena which can exist between a dental suprastructure and a dental implant. The electrochemical behavior of 7 alloy superstructures with titanium and titanium alloy (Ti6A14V) implants was investigated by electrochemical means in Fusayama-Meyer de-aerated saliva and Carter-Brugirard (AFNOR) non de-aerated saliva. Different techniques were used to obtain the value of the galvanic coupling current and potential for each couple. All showed very low corrosion rates, ranging from 10(-6) to 10(-8) A. Surface analysis confirmed these results.Entities:
