having spent 17 yrs teaching at a dental school but back when implants were brand new, i have wondered about this myself. I had a tooth pulled this year because it broke and I seriously am not interested in having an implant. I think about these very things happening.

I have never heard of it being a cause of oral cancer but I don't want titanium in my mouth either let alone animal bone though I would not need any according to the oral surgeon.
