AB Titanium and its alloys have been widely used for clinical applications because of their biocompatibility and exceptional chemicalinertness, in addition to their outstanding osseointegration characteristics. They are well known to form a robust protective film onthe surface that provides a high corrosion resistance with the surrounding environment. Although this passive state of titaniumbased materials is often considered to be achieved very rapidly, even when damaged, and to be chemically stable in physiologicalenvironments, evidences of passivity breakdown and electron transfer reactions have been collected using high resolutionmicroelectrochemical techniques. Thus, further optimizations are required for their forthcoming applications.
