“…Implants made from zirconia (ZrO 2 ) have been introduced as a possible alternative to titanium implants (Andreiotelli, Wenz, & Kohal, ; Pieralli, Kohal, Jung, Vach, & Spiess, ) with a survival rate of 95.6% after 1 year and an expected further decrease of 0.05% per year afterward (i.e., 0.25% after 5 years) (Pieralli et al, ). A multicenter study showed a survival rate of 98.5% and a low marginal bone loss for one‐piece zirconia implants for single‐tooth replacement and three‐unit FDPs, after 3 years in function (Balmer et al, ). Zirconia, an inert and biocompatible ceramic (Depprich et al, ; Moller et al, ), offers promising physical properties with a high fracture strength (900–1,600 MPa, Piconi et al, ).…”
