Abstract
PIXE and TR-XRF measurements were carried out in rabbits after titaniu m endosseous implant insertion, in order to evaluate a possible diffus ion and accumulation of this metal in the tissues. Titanium was below the minimum detection limit after one month; however, this metal begin s to be detectable in some animals after six months.
