Corrosion Response of Ti6Al4V and Ti15Mo Dental Implant Alloys in the Presence of Listerine Oral Rinse

الملخص EN

The influence of a commonly used antibacterial mouth rinse, Listerine, on the corrosion behavior of one of the commonly used titanium alloys Ti6Al4V (two-phase structure, i.e., α and β) and a newer Ti15Mo (single β phase) in normal saline solution has been investigated using electrochemical techniques.

Interfacial electrochemical changes occurring at the oxide-solution interface have been analysed using EIS circuit modeling.

Listerine acts as a corrosion inhibitor for Ti15Mo alloy and a corrosion promoter for Ti6Al4V alloy.
