“…In order to mimic human saliva, several artificial saliva solutions have been used to study the corrosion behavior of dental materials [47][48][49]. A previous review of nearly 60 artificial saliva recipes was carried out to clarify the role of the compounds used in the artificial saliva formulation [48].…”

“…That previous study focused on the buffer effect, the role played by CO 2 gas and the presence of calcium ions, hydrogenocarbonates, hydrogenophosphates, and thiocyanates. The pH of the artificial saliva solutions found in literature ranged from 4.5 to 7 [47,48]. Due to the inconsistent and unstable properties of natural saliva, the formulation of artificial saliva solutions that react with the test material in a way similar to that of natural saliva is not easy to achieve in vitro [47,49].…”

“…Due to the inconsistent and unstable properties of natural saliva, the formulation of artificial saliva solutions that react with the test material in a way similar to that of natural saliva is not easy to achieve in vitro [47,49]. Most of the reported artificial saliva solutions are a simplified version of what may actually occur in the oral cavity in terms of solubility of components and corrosion of dental materials [47,48].…”

Wear and Corrosion Interactions on Titanium in Oral Environment: Literature Review

The oral cavity is a complex environment where corrosive substances from dietary, human saliva, and oral biofilms may accumulate in retentive areas of dental implant systems and prostheses promoting corrosion at their surfaces. Additionally, during mastication, micromovements may occur between prosthetic joints causing a relative motion between contacting surfaces, leading to wear. Both processes (wear and corrosion) result in a biotribocorrosion system once that occurs in contact with biological tissues and fluids. This review paper is focused on the aspects related to the corrosion and wear behavior of titanium-based structures in the oral environment. Furthermore, the clinical relevance of the oral environment is focused on the harmful effect that acidic substances and biofilms, formed in human saliva, may have on titanium surfaces. In fact, a progressive degradation of titanium by wear and corrosion (tribocorrosion) mechanisms can take place affecting the performance of titanium-based implant and prostheses. Also, the formation of wear debris and metallic ions due to the tribocorrosion phenomena can become toxic for human tissues. This review gathers knowledge from areas like materials sciences, microbiology, and dentistry contributing to a better understanding of bio-tribocorrosion processes in the oral environment.

“…The effects of different surface treatments -namely, natural glaze, overglaze, ion exchange, and polishing -on strength have been widely mentioned in published literature [1][2][3][4][6][7][8]23,25) , but not so with their effects on Candida adhesion on porcelain surfaces 16,17) . Against this backdrop of information scarcity, this study was undertaken to investigate the effects of different surface treatments on the adhesion and formation of C. albicans.…”

Candida albicans, known for its adhesion on prosthetic materials and oral tissues, is the most frequently encountered fungal infection in dentistry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of four different surface treatment methods and immersion in artificial saliva on the surface roughness of and candida adhesion on dental porcelains. The four surface treatment methods were namely: natural glaze, overglaze, dual ion exchange, and polishing. Surface roughness of porcelain was evaluated using a surface profilometer and by SEM. Candida adhesion was examined by culturing two Candida strains on porcelain specimens followed by a colorimetric method using XTT/Coenzyme Q0. It became evident that Candida adhesion was found more in the specimens treated with natural glaze and polishing. Further, by the visual inspection of SEM images and comparison of surface roughness, polished and naturalglazed specimens showed rougher surface characteristics than overglazed and dual-ion-exchanged specimens.
