Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the implications of metallic materials in medical implants, this book examines the release of metal ions from alloys and pure metals used in dental and orthopedic surgeries. It discusses the corrosive behavior of these materials in simulated biological environments and outlines various analytical methods for measuring trace metal release in patients. Additionally, it compiles reference levels of ion concentrations from extensive studies and presents clinical data on the in vivo effects of trace metals from metal medical implants.
