Abstract

Titanium has long been the most valuable material used to create dental implants and orthopaedic prosthetics because it is thought of as an inert, incredibly resistant, and biocompatible metal. However, titanium is not infaillible, as it has been subject to corrosion and to subsequent titanium toxicity, hypersensitivity, and probably also to a form of autoimmunity. Evidence of failure of the contraption, though, is relatively rare. While commenting on its medical advantages and its setbacks, we discuss the rare use of the metal in the spectacles industry and some of its exceptional, related complications. Due to its inert properties, to its being an extremely resistant and biocompatible metal, the titanium has won for years, a position as the most prominent material used for the manufacture of dental implants and orthopedic prosthetics.
