The effect of implantation time and implant nitriding on titanium ion concentration in several tissues of rats carrying Ti6Al4V implants was studied by means of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Histological studies were also performed in order to check for tissue degeneration due to the Ti6Al4V implantation. The animals were divided into four groups: one received Ti6Al4V implants, the second received nitrided Ti6Al4V implants, the third group received nitrided and descaled Ti6Al4V implants and the last one was the control group. Half the animals of the implanted groups received the Ti6Al4V implant for 30 days, while the other half received the implant for 120 days. Spleen, muscle, kidney, lung, brain and bone samples were retrieved from these rats as well as the control group. Ion concentration measures did not show significant differences between control and implanted rats for the studied period of time, although histological studies showed minor differences, especially on liver tissue samples.
