Titanium didn't move the needle at all which is partially why I'm glad I went the M6 route considering I'm a three level meaning a lot more material in me.

I have a three level plate and screws, a roi-c implant, a dental implant, now two m6-c's and going to have a 2nd dental implant in Jan. I bet I have the most Titanium than anyone or pretty darn close. I had my thyroid ultra sounded to check for any problems with that; every thing is normal. Thank God. I guess you have to weigh the risk to benefits.
