What material is consistently used for the implant post in the standard gold standard approach due to its biocompatibility?

Titanium alloy

The consistent use of titanium alloy for the post in modern, highly successful dental implants is rooted in its exceptional mechanical properties combined with superior biocompatibility. Biocompatibility means that the human body readily accepts the material without triggering adverse immune or rejection responses. This acceptance is crucial because it directly facilitates the process of osseointegration—the biological fusing of living bone tissue to the implant surface. While titanium alloy provides necessary mechanical strength to handle biting forces, its ability to integrate biologically is what separates implants from older prosthetic devices and is key to achieving the high, predictable long-term success rates cited for Endosteal implants.
