What Type of Metal Screws Were Used in Chin Implants in 1995?
Q: Dr., Eppley, would you have any idea what type of metal was used for chin implant screws in 1995? (I need to have a MRI, but no one knows what type of metal it is). Do you know if titanium screws were even used yet in 1995? Thank you!
A: Most likely titanium in 1995 but no one can say for sure. The x-ray will not provide that information as the material density between titanium, stainless steel, and vitallium is not that different.
