Hypersensitivity Reactions to Metal Implants

Estimated 1 in 7 people have implantable devices with metal compositions. Metal and their alloys can be found in dental implants (e.g. braces), cardiac devices (e.g. stents), orthopaedic implants and birth control devices. Evidence suggest metal corrodes inside the body. When it. does, it releases ions that can trigger an immunological response known as hypersensitivity reaction type IV. Do you know how your body will react to the metal?
