Esthetic Rehabilitation with Zirconia Dental Implant on a Complex Pathology Patient
Author: Luis A. Alicea DMD, MSD
The zirconia dental implants have several advantages over titanium implants. The zirconia implant is a high strength ceramic not a metal material, white in color and not visible through the gum tissue, offering a more aesthetically pleasing option for patients. Also, the ceramic is a more biocompatible material that will not corrode over time as other dental implants metal materials. so particles from corrosion are not emitted into the body as a foreign body
Holistic alternative to titanium Implants, ideal for patients with metal allergies. The osseointegration of the zirconia implant is similar as the titanium dental implant. Zirconia dental implant and zirconia dental prosthesis are more resistant to harbor less initially adherent (plaque).
