Abstract

The future of orthodontic and prosthodontic research will involve replacement materials and methods that evaluate compatibility of the materials to living tissues. The biocompatibility of grade1 comercially pure titanium is examined by using cytotoxic study. The extraction liquid of test implant material resulted from incubation in the medium at 37degree Celsius for 120 hours. Cells used are rhesus monkey fibroblasts and the experimental alloy did not cause any cytopathic changes in VERO cells.
