    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To study the influence of titanium nitride(TiN) coating on bacterial corrosion resistance of clinically used Co-Cr alloy. METHODS: The Co-Cr alloy commonly used for casting metal full crown was casted with specimen 10mm x 10mm x 3mm in size. The specimen was coated with a thickness of 2.5 microm TiN coating on the surface by multi-arc physical vapor deposition. Then the specimen before and after coating titanium nitride were exposed to TSB media with S.mutans or Actinomyces viscosus,while pure media,as control.After inoculated for 24 hours, the Tafel polarization curves of the specimen were measured by electrochemical station. RESULTS: From the Tafel polarization curves, the non-coated Co-Cr alloy showed that corrosion potential moved to the negative way in presence of oral bacteria,and passivation interval got shorter.While the polarization curves of the specimen after coating TiN changed slightly in presence of oral microorganism. The TiN significantly weakened the corrosion action of bacteria on the alloy. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that the TiN coating with better tolerance to the bacterial action can improve bacterial corrosion resistance of Co-Cr alloy.Supported by Research Fund of Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality(Grant No.08DZ2271100) and Shanghai Leading Academic Discipline Project (Grant No. S30206).
