Summary
Titanium dental implants can cause inflammatory reactions, even years after placement. This case highlights the importance of considering titanium particles in persistent facial lesions following implant procedures.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Biomaterials Science
- Dermatology
Background:
- Titanium (Ti) dental implants are widely used for functional and aesthetic restoration due to their perceived inertness and corrosion resistance.
- However, no biomaterial is universally biocompatible, and titanium can elicit adverse reactions.
- This case explores an uncommon inflammatory response to titanium dental implants.
