Is titanium alloy Ti‐6Al‐4 V cytotoxic to gingival fibroblasts—A systematic review

Abstract Objectives Grade V titanium alloy (Ti‐6Al‐4 V) is a well‐recognized metallic biomaterial for medical implants. There has been some controversy regarding the use of this alloy in medical devices in relation to the toxicity of vanadium. In Dentistry, Ti‐6Al‐4 V remains prevalent. This systema...
