Abstract
Dental implant corrosion is now being recognized as a contributing factor in the onset and advancement of peri-implantitis, posing significant challenges to both the durability of implants and the well-being of patients. The dissemination of titanium microparticles due to corrosion raises concerns about plausible toxicity and biological effects, especially for patients with long-standing implant prostheses. This case report focuses on the release of titanium particles in the peri-implant mucosa due to corrosion and its association with peri-implantitis. It emphasizes the critical need for strategies to minimize corrosion and alleviate its detrimental effects in order to optimize patient outcomes in the field of implant dentistry. Additionally, there is a call for research into the increasing biochemical effects of these microparticles on oral soft tissues surrounding metallic implants to enhance the longevity and clinical outcomes of implants.
