What is so magical about titanium?
Nothing. It is a material that has been in use in orthopedics for many decades. Simply put, titanium is not subject to corrosion when inserted inside the human body and does not present the same immunological rejection problems of other metals of the same family, such as niobium, for instance. The success of the technique is due to a number of different factors and the titanium characteristics are a positive contributor, but will not, of themselves, guarantee success. In a word, success depends on the correct pacing of the surgical procedure (to prevent overheating the bone), a sufficient healing period prior to installation of the prosthesis, and the choice of an appropriate prosthesis. The protocol for carrying out implants involves attention to details that must not be overlooked. The expertise of a competent and well trained professional is crucial to achieving excellent results.
