Effect of Simulated Toothbrushing on the Surface Topography and Electrochemical Stability of Ta2O5- and ZrO2-Coated Commercially Pure Titanium
Ti owes its clinical durability to a protective passive oxide film; however, repetitive toothbrushing and fluoride exposure may disrupt this interface and increase its susceptibility to tribocorrosion. This in vitro study investigated the electrochemical behaviour and surface integrity of commercially pure titanium (Cp...
