Tanium implants release titanium oxide particles into the surrounding tissue. Everyone reacts to this in a different way. With one kind of titanium intolerance, the patient reacts with “particle-induced inflammation.” In addition, the following symptoms may occur as well:
- Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
- Skin problems
- Insomnia
- Difficulties concentrating
- Susceptibility to infections
- Headaches and facial pain
- Increased tendency towards inflammation
According to the Consensus Conference (2016), 80 % of patients with titanium implants suffered from gum inflammationwithin just five years. In turn, gum inflammation favors the development of heart disease, since the bacteria travel via the gums towards the heart.
