Question:
Can the metal used in teeth implants cause dangerous side affects?
My friend has experienced pain and swelling in the joints of her body since her implants and wonders if this could be related.
Answers:
Pure titanium is completely inert when placed in the human body.. Nothing in the human body can chemically react with it. A pure titanium implant that has been properly sterilized and surface-treated should not cause any reactions at all.
Some companies do make alloy implants that are composed of more than 1 metal which might cause problems.. Your friend might want to find out what kind of implants she got.
