Abstract
Low-rigidity β-type titanium alloys composed of nontoxic and allergyfree elements are receiving considerable attention as biomaterials. Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) composed of nontoxic and allergy-free elements exhibits low Young’s modulus of approximately 60 GPa; it is effective in inhibiting bone resorption and enhancing the remodeling of bones, which may be due to the excellent stress transmission between the bone and the implant. TNTZ exhibits multifunctional characteristics such as super elasticity and shape memory effect. It can be applicable for not only dental implants but also for dental prostheses.
