    The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of galvanic coupling between stainless steel AISI 316 L abutment type Morse taper and implant made of ASTM F1108–14 Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The assembly of the two alloys was carried out using mechanical imbrication by means of successive strikes at 0.05 J force onto the abutment inserted in the implant along the centerline. Corrosion attack at the interface of the alloys was evaluated according to the number of strikes used for joining the parts. Corrosion resistance was evaluated for the samples by open circuit potential measurements as function of time and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) and scanning ion selective electrode technique (SIET) in phosphate buffer solution with pH adjusted to 3.0, and into which hydrogen peroxide was added to simulate tissue inflammatory conditions. Samples were evaluated at the cross and longitudinal sections. Results indicated that the number of strikes used in assembling affected corrosion susceptibility. The lowest amount of corrosion products was associated to the highest number of strikes used. The corrosion resistance was related to the characteristics of the crevice between the implant and the abutment.

    Corrosion of dental implants made of Ti-6Al-4V connected to 316L SS in agressive environment
    2021 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; MICELLI, ANA L.; NIGRO, FREDERICO; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.; COSTA, ISOLDA
    Implants made of dissimilar alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V, connected to abutment of stainless steel (SS), are being considered for application as dental implants leading to galvanic corrosion. Body fluids are corrosive electrolytes that contain aggressive ions, such as chlorides, leading to localized attack at weak points of the passive film on materials used for implants fabrication. Another reason of apprehension concerning corrosion is the method of joining the different materials. This might lead to small gaps between the two materials and promote crevice conditions that stimulate localized corrosion. In this study, the corrosion resistance of a Morse taper dental implants made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in contact to a prosthetic abutment of 316L, with the two parts joined by mechanical forces consisting of strikes, using different numbers of strikes (3, 5 and 7), was studied. The study was carried out by SVET technique in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with an addition of H2O2 and pH adjust to 3 to simulate inflammatory conditions. The results showed high electrochemical activity at the interface between the two alloys. SVET maps showed that the Ti alloy acted as anode whereas the 316L SS as cathode. At the interface of the dissimilar alloys, large amounts of corrosion products accumulated showing the effect of the galvanic corrosion. This was mainly observed for the samples with 3 strikes for joining both alloys. The electrochemical activity was the lowest for the dental implant mounted with 5 strikes. SVET maps and SEM images showed a strong effect of crevice corrosion for the implants joined by lowest number of strikes among the testes.

    Effect of galvanic coupling between titanium alloy and stainless steel on behavior of corrosion of dental implants
    2020 - BERBEL, LARISSA O.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; MICELLI, ANA L.; ROSSI, JESUALDO; NIGRO, FREDERICO; ARANHA, LUIS C.; COSTA, ISOLDA
    Titanium and its alloys are widely used in dental implant manufacturing due its favorable properties, such as, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance. This last one, is a result of the ability of titanium to form an oxide film (TiO2) in contact with oxygen. However, a several factors can accelerate the corrosion process of implants in contact with the oral environment, such as, acidification of the medium, differential aeration, inflammatory conditions, presence of protein and the junction of diferent metals. The goals of this research is to investigate the corrosion effect of galvanic coupling between titanium alloy (grade V) and stainless steel 316L. The investigative technique adopted was the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) in phosphate buffer solution simulating inflammatory conditions. The results showed detrimental effects of acidity of the environment, induced by inflammatory conditions, accelerate the oxidation of Ti-6Al-4V. SVET maps and SEM images for the junction of the different metals showed that the region with the highest electrochemical activity it is at the interface between the metals, mostly concentrated on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, depending on the conditions of the medium.
