Objective: The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of three methods of surface modification on the corrosion resistance of commercial pure Titanium when used in oral environment for half a year. Method: 48 specimens of pure titanium were made and divided into four groups randomly, one group was selected randomly as Group Ⅰ(control group), the other three groups were treated by three methods of surface modification individually, Group Ⅱ: heating oxidation in air(400℃,30min.), Group Ⅲ : anodization(45 volts, 10 min.), Group Ⅳ: TiN coating(firing temperature 200℃ , total coating time 62min.). Six edentulous volunteers with healthy oral mucosa participated in the in vivo study. One testing piece from each group was selected and fixed in the polished surface of upper complete dentures. Dynamic polarization curves were traced with electrochemical method after the specimens were placed either in oral cavity or in air for 6 months. Results: After all specimens were used, Ecorr altered in every group , Ecorr from high to low were in turn: TiN coating group > heating oxidation group > anodization group >control group, no obvious passive potential Ep and Ip was found in control group.Heating oxidation in air exhibited similar Ep to anodization, but Ip was remarkably lower than that of anodization; TiN coating showed obviously different polarization curves compared with heating -oxidation group and anodization group, Ecorr was positive, and no Ep and Ip was found. Conclusion: Under present experimental condition, all the three treatment methods could enhance corrosion resistance of pure titanium in oral environment, heating oxidation in air exhibited better resistance to corrode than anodization, TiN coating possessed the most excellent corrosion resistance, even after exposed in oral condition for 6 months, there was little change of corrosion resistance. Therefore TiN coating could be adopted to improve corrosion resistance of pure titanium in oral environment.
