Abstract
Although dental implants appear to be an alternative for treatment of tooth loss, fixed prosthetic restorations are an irreplaceable part of oral rehabilitation. Regarding the EU directives concerning cobalt health risks, titanium alloys may be an alternative to cobalt–chromium and nickel–chromium for metal–ceramic dental restorations. The presented review briefly describes the specific properties of titanium, and the challenges met during production and use of titanium–ceramic fixed prosthetic restorations.Keywords
