Abstract

Nickel is one of the most used metals for implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “Toxicity of Nickel-implants”. All published articles related to “Toxicity of Nickel-implants” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the scientific literature regarding “Toxicity of Nickel-implants” and also to find out the trends related to the same. The most active journals in this research domain biomaterial. The most active country was the United States of America and United Kingdom. The leading organization engaged in the research regarding the toxicity of Nickel implants was the Rush University Medical Center, United States of America. The most active author who had made valuable contributions related to the toxicity of Nickel implants was Hallab N.J.

Highlights

  • An engineered medical device to replace a missing or damaged biological structure is known as an implant.Different types of metals and materials are used to create implants and the most popularly used metals and alloys for bio-implants are stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, and various types of implants had been used in modern medicine and include sensory implants, neurological implants, cardiovascular implants, orthopedic implants, contraceptive implants, and cosmetic implants.The major issues related to Nickel implants are the toxicity of the metal, failure of nickel implants, allergy or hypersensitivity, and corrosion of nickel implants

  • Material engineering and surface engineering play a very important role in providing solutions to diversified issues connected with toxicity and allergy, corrosion, and failure of Nickel-based implants (Nagaraja et al, 2017)(Ozkomur, Erbil and Akova, 2013)

  • The following research objectives and research questions were framed for conducting bibliometric analysis systematically. 1.1 Research Objectives a) To consolidate the literature regarding the Toxicity of Nickel-implants b) To find out the trends related to research in the Toxicity of Nickel-implants 1.2 Research Questions a) Who are the active researchers working on the Toxicity of Nickel-implants? b) Which are the main organizations and countries working on the Toxicity of Nickel-implants? c) Which are the main journals related to the Toxicity of Nickel-implants? 2

Introduction

An engineered medical device to replace a missing or damaged biological structure is known as an implant.Different types of metals and materials are used to create implants and the most popularly used metals and alloys for bio-implants are stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, and various types of implants had been used in modern medicine and include sensory implants, neurological implants, cardiovascular implants, orthopedic implants, contraceptive implants, and cosmetic implants.The major issues related to Nickel implants are the toxicity of the metal, failure of nickel implants, allergy or hypersensitivity, and corrosion of nickel implants. Material engineering and surface engineering play a very important role in providing solutions to diversified issues connected with toxicity and allergy, corrosion, and failure of Nickel-based implants (Nagaraja et al, 2017)(Ozkomur, Erbil and Akova, 2013). Issues connected with corrosion and failure of Nickel-based implants are important.
