Has zirconia made a material difference in implant prosthodontics? A review

Bioactive Glass Coated Zirconia for Dental Implants: a review

“…Zirconia with better optical, aesthetic, mechanical and biological qualifications, is a hopeful substitute to traditional Ti implant system for oral recovery [61][62][63][64], and is produced by the oxidation of zirconium [25,27,[65][66][67]. Zirconium, which is a transition metal [56,68] with greywhite color [69][70][71][72][73], can be used to make zirconia implant.…”

“…Their biological inertness and electrical passivation have made ceramics a promising material in the medical equipment and medicine. In comparison with metallic implants, zirconia-based ceramics show minimum ion release and are biologically inert [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Modern Ti implant technologies are being introduced due to possible combination of immunologic and aesthetic aspects of Ti and Ti alloys.…”

“…In terms of advantages, some documents have mentioned that zirconia decreases the risk of explosive reactions in surrounding peri-implant tissues, because it has the ability to reduce the biofilm aggregation and bacteria adhesion [32,36,48,49]. On the other hand, titanium is grey and it can be corroded [25,50]. These two facts about Ti, which surely can influence the appearance and health system, can provide aesthetic disadvantages which cannot be denied [46].Both of the materials would need 3 to 6 months prior to the fixation of complete prosthetic reconstruction [18,[51][52][53][54][55][56].…”

The Effect of Different Cleaning Protocols of Polymer-Based Prosthetic Materials on the Behavior of Human Gingival Fibroblasts

“…Soft tissue and bone response may be influenced by the type of implant abutment material and surface properties [ 1 , 2 , 11 ]. The relationship between the material and the resulting condition of soft tissue has been reported in multiple studies [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. The majority of the studies have investigated the effects of titanium and zirconia materials [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Personalized Choice of Structural Materials for Artificial Crowns From the Level of Multi-Unit Abutment or Titanium Platform for Direct Prosthetics on Dental Implants

“…Результати досліджень свідчать, що універсальним матеріалом для коронок на ДІ є діоксид цирконію [12,13,14]. Як зазначають автори, цей матеріал все частіше використовується в якості монолітних ортопедичних конструкцій, заради уникнення такого поширеного ускладнення, як «сколи» облицювального керамічного шару.…”
