Development of binary and ternary titanium alloys for dental implants

Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) has been widely used as the main biomaterial for the manufacture of dental implants [1,2]. Nevertheless, like any other material used in physiological conditions, it is exposed to mechanical and biological factors [3] that may impair implant survival and long-term treatment success. In this context, alloys have been considered to be the treatment of choice [4], due to their improved properties, which allow for the development of materials according to clinical demands [5].
