I'm not trying to say titanium isn't strong... just pointing out that it isn't better than bone.
Yes, Titanium is similar in tensile strength to bone, but it doesn't give like bone does. I work for the leading orthopaedic company in the world and we spend a huge amount of time & money researching metal alloys and testing them. We created the metal alloy that is the closest to bone... That alloy is actually porous like a sponge so it allows bone ingrowth. Wouldn't be suitable for dental caps, perhaps for the post in root canals/implants (we own a dental implant co. too) but that is still in the research phase.
Simply put, if you had to do the surgery, titanium/titanium alloys (for a working dog)is the best choice. But, its not better than what is naturally there. An owner/handler just needs to be aware of this and have appropriate expectations.
