It’s no secret that human bodies are currently ingesting and inhaling more microplastics than at any time in human history.[i] Whilst the long-term impacts of this are yet to be fully discovered, it is unlikely to be positive. But microplastics aren’t the only microscopic concern.
Miniscule metal particles can enter the body through respiratory, dermal, gastrointestinal, circulatory, immunological and neurological tracts.[ii] For dental professionals, titanium microparticles are of particular concern due to their role in dental implant treatments and their perceived association with peri-implantitis.

The alveolar bone is the soil that keeps the teeth planted, but resorption of it occurs frequently in the first six months following a tooth extraction. Implant treatment success relies on minimal alveolar bone loss; the higher the loss the smaller the chance of osseointegration. In this case, the likelihood of the patient having to return for further treatment increases, reducing their trust and confidence in the clinician and costing them time and resources.
To overcome the challenge of alveolar bone loss management, filling the extraction socket with biomaterials reduces resorption, ensuring that there will be sufficient bone for osseointegration. The extraction site, with its abundant blood supply and retention of bone graft material, is a favourable environment for regeneration but, for dental implantologists, there are several biomaterial options to choose from, each with their own benefits or limitations. Determining which one to use is paramount for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP).
