Ti particles surrounding peri-implant tissues are a common finding. Peri-implantitis sites presented a higher number of particles compared to healthy implants. The particles were mostly around the implants and inside epithelial cells, connective tissue, macrophages, and bone. Various mechanisms were described as causes of Ti release, including friction during implant insertion, corrosion of the implant surface, friction at the implant-abutment interface, implantoplasty, and several methods used for implant surface detoxification.
