Which of the following posts are the most radiopaque? A. Zirconia. B. Titanium. C. Carbon fibre. D. Plastic
Traditional materials like titanium, aluminum and stainless steel used for making implants are radioopaque. So here the answer would be titanium. Carbon fibre and thermoplastics are used for radioluscent implants to allow better visibility to trauma regions. They also have added benefit of reduced weight. No idea about zirconium.
