TL;DR: The results showed that pro-inflammatory cytokines, infiltration of inflammatory response cells and activation of the osteoclasts activity are stimulated in peri-implant tissues in the presence of metal particles and ions.

TL;DR: A review of the recent work in the area of biotribocorrosion is provided, by focusing on orthopedic surgery and dentistry as mentioned in this paper, with a comprehensive picture of the current state of knowledge can be depicted.

TL;DR: The pH level of artificial saliva influences the corrosion behavior of cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy in that lower pH accelerates the corrosion rate and kinetics and may mitigate the survival rate of dental implants.

TL;DR: The alloying elements proved to modify the alloy microstructure and to enhance the mechanical properties, improving the hardness and decreasing the elastic modulus of the binary and ternary alloys, respectively.

TL;DR: A literature review of the local and systemic toxicity studies concerning the effect of CoCrMo wear debris released from wear and corrosion of orthopedic implants and prostheses proposes the importance of developing new and more appropriate in-vitro methodologies to study the cellular responses and toxicity mediated by joint replacement wear debris in- vivo.
