In vitro effects of titanium powder on oral bacteria
Biomaterials
|January 1, 1992
Abstract:
Biomaterial research has been mostly concerned with biocompatibility, i.e. tissue response, of materials for dental or orthopaedic implantation. In this study, the effects of titanium powder on seven bacterial species commonly found in dental plaque or gingival sulcus, were determined by agar incorporation and by liquid medium culture. In neither culture system could any inhibitory or stimulatory activity be detected.
