“…To date, titanium is considered the “gold standard” and has maintained a dominant position as an abutment and implants material in long-term dental implant treatments. However, the high demand for aesthetic restorations has led to the introduction of ceramic implant abutments made from zirconium oxide stabilized with yttrium [40]. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the zirconia, as well as its excellent biocompatibility, have been well documented [41,42].…”

The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between biofilm and peri-implant disease, with an emphasis on the types of implant abutment surfaces. Individuals with periodontal disease typically have a large amount of pathogenic microorganisms in the periodontal pocket. If the individuals lose their teeth, these microorganisms remain viable inside the mouth and can directly influence peri-implant microbiota. Metal implants offer a suitable solution, but similarly, these remaining bacteria can adhere on abutment implant surfaces, induce peri-implantitis causing potential destruction of the alveolar bone near to the implant threads and cause the subsequent loss of the implant. Studies have demonstrated differences in biofilm formation on dental materials and these variations can be associated with both physical and chemical characteristics of the surfaces. In the case of partially edentulous patients affected by periodontal disease, the ideal type of implant abutments utilized should be one that adheres the least or negligible amounts of periodontopathogenic bacteria. Therefore, it is of clinically relevance to know how the bacteria behave on different types of surfaces in order to develop new materials and/or new types of treatment surfaces, which will reduce or inhibit adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms, and, thus, restrict the use of the abutments with indication propensity for bacterial adhesion.

“…Polycrystalline tetragonal zirconia stabilized by yttria (3 mol%) results in a ceramic material with high toughness and hardness [21]. In recent years, zirconia dental abutment implants have been favored over titanium implants, especially in the anterior part of the oral cavity, for implant-supported prostheses [22,23] due to their excellent strength and toughness but also due to their esthetic properties, translucency, ability to be colored, the availability of new powders with superior aging resistance and ability to be manufactured by computer-aided design and manufacturing procedures. Even though a few general papers devoted to dental zirconia have underlined the fact that some forms of zirconia are susceptible to aging and that processing conditions can play a critical role in the LTD of zirconia [21], this problem has not received sufficient attention to date.…”

Implications of Surface and Bulk Properties of Abutment Implants and Their Degradation in the Health of Periodontal Tissue

et al. 2013

The aim of the current review was to investigate the implications of the surface and bulk properties of abutment implants and their degradation in relation to periodontal health. The success of dental implants is no longer a challenge for dentistry. The scientific literature presents several types of implants that are specific for each case. However, in cases of prosthetics components, such as abutments, further research is needed to improve the materials used to avoid bacterial adhesion and enhance contact with epithelial cells. The implanted surfaces of the abutments are composed of chemical elements that may degrade under different temperatures or be damaged by the forces applied onto them. This study showed that the resulting release of such chemical elements could cause inflammation in the periodontal tissue. At the same time, the surface characteristics can be altered, thus favoring biofilm development and further increasing the inflammation. Finally, if not treated, this inflammation can cause the loss of the implant.
