A potentiostatic study of the corrosion behavior of anodized and nonanodized aluminum alloy

The clinical implication of this study is that some improvement in the corrosion resistance of denture bases made with aluminum alloy D-214 may be obtained by anodization. However, since this study does not exactly duplicate an oral environment or take into consideration the variation in oral environments, it cannot be assumed that the additional corrosion resistance would be discernible in a particular patient.
