The body accepts titanium very well. It is a biocompatible material, not harmful to living tissue. When a titanium piece is placed, the body doesn’t reject titanium and won’t develop an infection. The titanium is also resistant to bacteria. Titanium can exist within the body without rusting, decaying, or creating another complication.

Titanium is a metal that is often used in dentistry because of its strength and biocompatibility. A titanium screw is often used to hold a dental crown in place. Titanium is solid and will hold the crown securely in place until the crown is permanently cemented to the tooth. Titanium screws can, however, cause complications. Because the screw is so durable, it can be tough to remove. For instance, if a dental crown breaks, the titanium screw may become attached to the broken crown and cause problems. 

Titanium screws can also become damaged and break off if they are not adequately protected. The best way to protect your titanium screw is to use a temporary dental crown. A temporary dental crown protects a titanium screw by covering it. The temporary crown covers the screw head and prevents it from coming into contact with any other hard or sharp objects. This means that the titanium screw is protected from damage. If not, use a temporary dental crown; the titanium screw is unprotected and may become damaged or broken. A titanium screw is solid strong. 

If a broken dental crown is put back in place, the titanium screw is often not strong enough to hold the crown in place. The broken crown may slip out. If the titanium screw is not strong enough to control the crown in place, the broken crown must be removed and replaced.

 If your dental crown breaks, or if your dental crown needs to be removed for any reason, it is best to use a temporary dental crown to help protect your titanium screw.
