Aim: To evaluate titanium allergy in prosthodontics and its effects on human health Objective: To study the use of titanium in dental procedures and its action in allergic reactions Background: In dentistry, titanium is considered as a material of choice for various dental procedures such as dental implants, partial dentures and fabrication of crowns. Titanium can form passive, stable oxide film as it has a high resistance to corrosion in physiological environment and excellent biocompatibility. Titanium may act as an allergen that induces clinically relevant hypersensitivity and other immune dysfunctions when exposed to sensitive patients. The use of titanium as biomedical devices may stimulate type I or type IV reactions in allergic patients that can be characterized by various conditions such as skin rashes and non-specific immune suppression Materials and Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 dental students from various institutions. All participants were provided with a list of 10 questions related to titanium allergy. Data was collected and statistic analysis was done.
