Zirconia Dental Implant Materials

Abstract:

Ceramic materials are used for the fabrication of dental restorations respectively esthetic dentistry. The main ceramic materials are glass ceramics, spinel, alumina and zirconia. Zirconia was introduced into dentistry domain in the 1990s used like frameworks, implants, dowels, abutments and orthodontic brackets. Recently, zirconia materials are getting much attention for dental implants because of its toothlike color, mechanical properties, good corrosion and biocompatibility. This article presents an review of zirconia dental implants osseointegration and mechanical strength compared with other dental implants. Clinical studies published indicate that zirconia dental implants have the potential to become alternative of titanium dental implants used in medical applications.
