Biocompatible metal commonly used for dental implants.
It is an alloy of approximately 99 wt.% titanium and small amounts (from 0.18 to 0.40 wt.%) of oxygen with trace amounts (less than 0.25 wt.%) of iron, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Commercially pure titanium is classified in multiple grades.
The amount of oxygen determines the grade of the alloy.See: Titanium (Ti), Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
