Accelerated corrosion of 316L stainless steel in a simulated oral environment via extracellular electron transfer and acid metabolites of subgingival microbiota
316L stainless steel (SS) is widely applied as microimplant anchorage (MIA) due to its excellent mechanical properties.However, the risk that the oral microorganisms can corrode 316L SS is fully neglected.Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 316L SS is essential to the health and Small Vacuum Accessory safety of all patients because the
