What it is
Dentistry needs titanium. Orthopedics needs titanium. Same material family. Different shapes.
Medical titanium for dentistry orthopedic implants covers both. Rods for screws and abutments. Plates for bone fixation. Wire for cerclage and sutures.
One material. Many forms. Same quality system. Same traceability.
Dental implants. Bone screws. Spinal rods. Cranial plates. Orthodontic wires. Sternal closure cables.
Why the same material for both fields
Dentistry and orthopedics share the same requirements. Biocompatible. No nickel. No corrosion. Strong enough for the job. MRI compatible.
Grade 23 ELI works for both. High strength. Good fatigue life. Used for dental abutments and femoral nails. Same material.
Grade 4 CP works for both. Pure titanium. No aluminum. No vanadium. Used for dental healing abutments and cranial plates.
For medical titanium for dentistry orthopedic implants, you don't need different materials. One family covers most applications.
Which grade for which implant
| Grade | Material | Tensile | Dentistry | Orthopedics |
| Grade 23 ELI | Ti-6Al-4V | 860 MPa | Abutments, implant fixtures | Bone screws, IM nails, spine |
| Grade 4 CP | Pure Ti | 550 MPa | Healing abutments, bridges | Cranial plates, foot screws |
| Grade 1 CP | Pure Ti | 240 MPa | Orthodontic wires | Cerclage, sternal wires |
Grade 23 ELI is the high-strength workhorse. Load-bearing applications in both fields.
Grade 4 CP is medium strength. Pure titanium. Used where strength is less critical.
Grade 1 CP is soft and formable. Used for wires that need bending.

Dentistry applications
Dental implant fixture. The screw in the jawbone. Grade 23 ELI rod. 3.0mm to 5.0mm diameter. Machined threads. Surface treated.
Abutment. Connects fixture to crown. Grade 23 ELI. Polished surface. Visible in the mouth.
Healing abutment. Temporary. Shapes the gum. Grade 4 CP. Lower cost. Pure titanium.
Orthodontic wire. Retainers. Braces. Grade 1 CP. Soft. Formable. No springback.
Dental mesh. Bone grafting support. Grade 1 or Grade 2 plate. 0.3mm to 0.6mm thick. Laser cut.
Orthopedics applications
Bone screw. Holds plates to bone. Grade 23 ELI rod. 2.0mm to 8.0mm. Rolled threads.
IM nail. Long bone fracture. Cannulated rod. Grade 23 ELI. 8.0mm to 15.0mm outer diameter. Hollow.
Spinal rod. Spine fusion. Grade 23 ELI rod. 5.0mm to 6.5mm diameter. Straight or pre-bent.
Cranial plate. Skull defect. Grade 4 CP plate. 0.5mm to 1.0mm thick. Pre-contoured.
Cerclage wire. Around bone fragments. Grade 1 CP wire. 1.0mm to 1.5mm diameter. Flexible.
Surface finish
Implant surface affects tissue response. Smooth surface reduces irritation.
Polished. Ra ≤ 0.2μm. Standard for most implants.
Electropolished. Ra ≤ 0.05μm. For visible dental abutments. For blood-contacting devices.
Anodized. Color finish. For size coding. For identification.
For medical titanium for dentistry orthopedic implants, polished is standard. Specify if you need electropolished or anodized.
Precision tolerances
Small implants need small tolerances.
| Parameter | Rod | Wire | Plate |
| Diameter/thickness | ±0.025mm | ±0.01mm | ±0.05mm |
| Straightness | 0.2mm/1000mm | 0.1mm/300mm | N/A |
| Surface finish (Ra) | ≤ 0.2μm | ≤ 0.1μm | ≤ 0.2μm |
Dental implants are tiny. A 3.0mm abutment has tight tolerances. We hold them.
Traceability
Both dental and orthopedic implants are medical devices. Class II or III. Full traceability.
Every medical titanium for dentistry orthopedic implants comes with:
Heat number. Mill test report. ASTM F136 or F67 cert. Chemical analysis. Mechanical test results.
EN 10204 3.1 standard. 3.2 with third-party witness.
FAQ
Q: Grade 23 ELI or Grade 4 for dental abutments?
A: Grade 23 ELI. Abutments need strength. Thin walls. Grade 23 ELI gives 860 MPa. Grade 4 is 550 MPa.
Q: Grade 23 ELI or Grade 4 for cranial plates?
A: Grade 4. Cranium doesn't bear weight. Grade 4 is pure titanium. No aluminum. No vanadium. Preferred for skull.
Q: What form for spinal rods?
A: Rod. 5.0mm to 6.5mm diameter. Grade 23 ELI. Straight or pre-bent.
Q: What form for dental mesh?
A: Plate. 0.3mm to 0.6mm thick. Grade 1 or Grade 2. Laser cut to shape.
Q: Can you supply cut-to-length?
A: Yes. Rods cut to your screw length. Wires cut to your suture length. Plates cut to your mesh shape.
Q: Sample material?
A: Yes. Small sample available. Pay shipping. Material free. Credit back on production order.
