DEF

Bioxyde naturel de titane [...] que l'on rencontre dans la nature diversement coloré (rouge-brun, jaunâtre, bleu, violet), cristallisant dans le système quadratique.

CONT

Après le sablage, pour éliminer toute trace d'alumine sur l'implant, ce dernier est soumis à un processus de passivation (bain acide). Du fait que les ions de titane sont très réactifs avec l'oxygène, la surface de l'implant se couvre d'une mince couche d'oxyde de titane [...] : «le rutile» : véritable biomatériau.

OBS

Formule chimique : TiO2
