RESEARCH ALLOY TYPES FLUORIDE ORBLEACHING AGENT CONTENT (pH) EFFECTS
Souza et al. [4,23] CP titanium grade II, Ti6Al4V 20ppm F (5,5) OCP and EIS results on 0upto227ppm indicateda passive film formation
30ppm F (5,5) EIS and OCP results at 12300ppm indicated an increase of the chemical reactivity
227ppm F (5,5)
12300ppm F (6,5)
Significant increase of the weight loss up to 227 and 12300ppmand consequently a localized corrosion of titanium
Mabilleau et al. [14] CP titanium grade II 5000ppm F Corrosionof the surface was observed by SEM and AFM
25000ppm F
0,1% H2O2
10% H2O2
Significant increase of Raroughness occurred after immersion in the media
Mayouf et al. [21] Ti–30Cu–10Ag
CP titanium grade II
Ti–6Al–4V
0,01M NaF (7,2) The presence of 0.01 and 0.05M NaF at pH 7.2 affectedthe corrosion resistance of TiCuAg less than Ti and TiAlV
0,05M NaF (7,2) TiAlV has a lower corrosion rate at 0,5M NaF in comparison with Ti and TiCuAg
0,5M NaF (7,2) The high concentration of NaFhadasignificant effect on TiCuAg
0,01M NaF(3,0) At pH 3,TiCuAa showed a lower corrosion rate than that of Ti and TiAlV
Nakagawa et al. [22] CP titanium grade II 90.5 to 9048ppm F (3-7) Corrosion resistance of titanium was maintained in the 2% NaF at pH higher than 6,2
The titanium corroded in a solution at pH below 6,2
Nakagawa et al. [24] CP titanium grade II
Ti–6Al–4V
Ti-6Al-7Nb
Ti-0.2Pd
226 to 9048ppm F (3-7) CPTi, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys were easily corroded even at low fluoride concentration in acidic environment
The corrosion resistance of Ti-0.2Pd alloy was higher 
Nakagawa et al. [25] CP titanium grade II
Ti–6Al–4V
Ti-6Al-7Nb
Ti-0.2Pd
Ti-0.5Pt
226 to 2262ppm NaF (5-6,5) CP Ti, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys corroded in fluoride solutions containing453 ppm F
Ti-0.2Pd and Ti-0.5Pt revealed higher corrosion resistance than that recorded on the other alloys
Faverani et al. [30] CP titanium grade II
Ti–6Al–4V
16% carbamide peroxide
35% carbamide peroxide
35% hydrogen peroxide
Bleaching agents caused significant changes on the surfaces of both materials tested
