Combined influence of fluoride and biofilms on the biotribocorrosion behavior of titanium used for dental applications
Dental implant failures occur mainly due to biofilm infections and mastication micro-movements or load stresses that may induce wear degradation. Dental implants microgaps are highly susceptible areas for biofilm formation and fluoride retention. Although fluoride is an antimicrobial agent widely us...
