Surface Analysis and In Vitro Corrosion Properties in Artificial Saliva of Surface-Treated Ti6Al4V Alloy for Dental Applications

Ti alloys are commonly used in dental applications. The surface properties of the implants influence in vitro corrosion, protein adhesion, and osseointegration. The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of surface modification: plasma treatment, sandblasting, and acid treatment on the surface roughness, wettability, surface energy, and electrochemical corrosion properties in artificial saliva of Ti6Al4V alloy for dental...
