2. Titanium biocompatibility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_biocompatibility

   One can find titanium in neurosurgery, bone conduction hearing aids, false eye implants, spinal fusion cages, pacemakers, toe implants, and shoulder/elbow/hip/knee replacements along with many more. The main reason why titanium is often used in the body is due to titanium's biocompatibility and, with surface modifications, bioactive surface.

3. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

   The analysis of 402,051 hip replacements showed that 6.2% of metal-on-metal hip implants had failed within five years, compared to 1.7% of metal-on-plastic and 2.3% of ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants. Each 1 mm (0.039 in) increase in head size of metal-on-metal hip implants was associated with a 2% increase in failure rate. [60]

4. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

   For osseointegrated dental implants, metallic, ceramic, and polymeric materials have been used, [2] in particular titanium. [20] To be termed osseointegration the connection between the bone and the implant need not be 100%, and the essence of osseointegration derives more from the stability of the fixation than the degree of contact in ...

   The researchers said patient demographic was also shifting towards the young, so implants needed to withstand higher stresses, and last longer, to avoid spiralling into a circle of revision ...

6. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioceramic

   A titanium hip prosthesis, with a ceramic head and polyethylene acetabular cup. Ceramics are now commonly used in the medical fields as dental and bone implants. [8] [9] Surgical cermets are used regularly. Joint replacements are commonly coated with bioceramic materials to reduce wear and inflammatory response.

7. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biological process called osseointegration, in ...
