    The use of mouthwashes and dental gels containing fluorides has increased in recent years as well as the dental bleaching agents. However, such agents can be in contact with surfaces of dental restorative, prosthetic and implant systems at high concentration in the oral cavity. That can adversely affect the corrosion resistance of titanium and its alloys. The purpose of this review was to summarize the current data regarding the influence of fluoride and bleaching agents on the degradation of titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy surfaces. Books, chapters and full-text articles were identified on Medline and hand searches applying the following search items: ?titanium and fluorides?; ?titanium and hydrogen peroxide?; ?titanium and ion release?; and ?titanium and degradation?. Thirty eight studies from an initial yield of 180 studies were selected. Results indicated that therapeutic substances us.. View More»
