ABSTRACT:
Dietary habits directly influence the oral environment and can affect the corrosion of dental implants and orthodontic appliances. When saliva interacts with different foods, it can contribute to the degradation of metallic materials, leading to the release of potentially toxic metals, such as nickel, chromium and iron. This corrosion compromises the aesthetics and functionality of the devices and can generate cytotoxic effects. Studies show that factors such as salivary pH, consumption of acidic foods and fluoridated products intensify this process.
