Background: Dentistry is a continually evolving branch of medicine that is significantly affected by technological developments. The goal of modern implant dentistry is to restore physiological function, comfort, aesthetics, speech, and health to individuals who have missing teeth. The present study was conducted for assessing the salivary titanium levels among patients undergoing dental implants. Materials & methods: A total of 30 patients who underwent dental implant therapy were enrolled in the present study. Complete clinical and demographic details of all the patients were obtained. Another set of 30 healthy subjects were enrolled as control group. All the patients underwent dental implant procedures under the hands skilled and experienced implantologists. Postoperatively after one month, salivary samples were obtained from all the patients of the dental implant group and salivary titanium levels were evaluated. Salivary samples were also obtained from the control group subjects and salivary titanium levels were evaluated and compared. Results: The mean concentration of salivary Titanium among subjects of dental implant group and control group was 158.2 μg/L and 239.8 μg/L respectively. Significant results were obtained while comparing the salivary titanium levels among the subjects of the study group and control group.
