                        2O
                        2 were used to simulate the body fluids. The behaviour of the metal was monitored as a function of time by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for three weeks. After one week, the PBS/H
                        2O
                        2 solutions were replaced by fresh PBS solutions in order to simulate the end of the inflammatory process and recovery of the system. All the experiments were carried out at a constant temperature of 37 {\textdegree}C. From the simulation of the experimental EIS spectra, it was concluded that the corrosion resistance of titanium is strongly affected by the presence of H
                        2O
                        2 and when the peroxide is removed, the metal displays a sharp resistance increase. Furthermore, the oxides formed in H
                        2O
                        2 are rougher and display higher ionic conductivities than the oxides formed in the absence of peroxide. The study was complemented with potentiostatic experiments and scanning electron microscopy observation of the metal surfaces.
