PROTETİK DİŞ TEDAVİSİNDE TİTANYUM ALERJİSİ

ÖZ Günümüzde diş eksikliğinin tedavisinde en güncel ve biyomimetrik tedavi seçeneklerinden biri implant tedavisidir. Çoğu zaman bu tür tedavilerin başarı oranları çok yüksektir. Diş hekimliğinde kullanılan implantlar titanyum veya titanyum ve diğer alaşımlarının kombinasyonlarından üretilmektedir. Ağız boşluğundan titanyum biyoinert malzeme olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bundan dolayı vücut herhangi bir yabancı cisim reaksiyonunu göstermeden implantları “kabul etmektedir”. Lakin bu konu son zamanlar hastaların titanyuma karşı alerji göstermelerinden kaynaklı tartışma konusu olmuştur. Araştırmacılar son zamanlarda herhangi bir biyolojik ve teknik komplikasyon nedeni olmayan implant kayıplarının titanyuma karşı alerjiden kaynaklandığından şüphe etmektedirler. Bu derlemenin amacı diş hekimliğinde kullanılan titanyuma karşı alerji vakalarını incelemektir.

TITANIUM ALLERGY IN PROSTHODONTICS

Today, implant therapy is one of the most current and biomimetric treatment options in the treatment of tooth deficiency. Often, the success rates of such treatments are very high. The implants used in dentistry are manufactured from titanium or a combination of titanium and other alloys. Titanium from the oral cavity is considered as bioinert material. Therefore, the body accepts implants without showing any foreign body reactions. However, this issue has recently been the subject of controversy due to patients’ allergies to titanium. Researchers have recently suspected implant losses that do not cause any biological and technical complications as they are caused by allergies to titanium. The aim of this review is to investigate allergy cases against titanium used in dentistry.
