Abstract
The aim of the present study was the analysis of the main dental implants used at present time. Three kinds of implants were selected: 1) commercially pure titanium implants; 2) Ti 6AI 4V implants; 3) surface treatment implants. Ten implants were studied by means of metalographic analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Disperse Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Diffraction and ICP-AES. Results showed quantitative and qualitative differences, that can have a marked influence in the success of our treatment.
