Long-term corrosion evolution of titanium and Ti5Cu alloy in the oral environment driven by Streptococcus mutans.

Oral biomedical materials are susceptible to microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) during long-term service, which may compromise their clinical performance and therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a 90-day experimental model was established to systematically investigate the MIC behavior of commercially pure Ti and Ti5Cu...
