One-piece zirconia implants

Zirconia dental implants have been available for a long time and at first glance they may have only esthetic interest. However this work highlights the current data on these implants. According to the data examined the one-piece zirconia implants with their current properties are much more resistant and allow a more favorable distribution of the constraints compared to Ti. They also have excellent biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties. One-piece zirconia implants solve the esthetic problems encountered with Ti implants especially if the gingival biotype is thin as well as the problems of hypersensitivity. The indication of one-piece implants seems to be limited for the moment but with the evolution of assisted implantation their applications will be more and more used.
