Titanium and its alloys are increasingly important in dentistry. Thin titanium-nitride (Ti-N) coatings improve the properties of metallic material for industrial purposes. Recently Ti-N coatings have been advocated in dentistry. In a survey of literature aspects of biological, mechanical and corrosive behaviour are assessed. Moreover, specific problems for clinical application are indicated. It is concluded that as long as the integrity of the Ti-N coating is not guaranteed under critical conditions one should be cautious with its clinical application. By no means it can be used for improvement of deficient dental alloys.
钛及其合金在牙科领域正变得越来越重要。薄的氮化钛（Ti-N）涂层可改善用于工业目的的金属材料的性能。最近，Ti-N涂层已在牙科领域得到提倡。在一项文献调查中，对其生物学、力学和腐蚀行为等方面进行了评估。此外，还指出了临床应用中的具体问题。得出的结论是，只要在关键条件下不能保证Ti-N涂层的完整性，就应谨慎对待其临床应用。它绝不能用于改善有缺陷的牙科合金。
