Abstract :
Background: Zirconia implants have gained prominence as a promising substitute to traditional titanium-based dental implants because of their superior biocompatibility, aesthetic appeal, and corrosion resistance. Zirconia (ZrO?), a ceramic material, exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high fracture toughness, wear resistance, and low thermal conductivity. Additionally, zirconia’s bioinert nature minimizes the risk of inflammatory reactions and allergies, making it suitable for patients with metal sensitivities. Recent studies have demonstrated that zirconia implants achieve comparable, if not superior, osseointegration to titanium, ensuring stable and long-lasting outcomes.
