Therefore, bio-tribocorrosion is an important cause of degradation of dental materials leading to functional and/or biological detrimental effects due to an increased release of metallic ions and wear debris. This chapter describes the main bio-tribocorrosion phenomena that occur in the oral environment, and discuss the main parameters related to both the materials and the environment affecting bio-tribocorrosion in dental applications. © 2013 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.223-249engBio-tribocorrosionCorrosionDentistryWearCapítulo de livro10.1533/9780857098603.3.2232-s2.0-84903495636
