Are all digital custom implants made of grade 5 titanium? Is it possible to have implant made out of pure titanium?

Asked By:Nico1993 in England, Regatul Unit

Because of lack of vertical bone height, i need a custom 3D printed subperioasteal dental implant for mandible rehabilitation. I noticed that unlike "normal" dental implants, these are made of grade 5 titanium. I am very concerned about the aluminium and vanadium ions from this material. Is there any possiblity to get a subperioasteal dental implant that is made from pure titanium only?
