Course Overview:
Titanium has long been the preferred material in dental implantology. However, evidence now shows it is not as stable or inert in the oral environment as once believed. This led to research into alternatives like zirconia and zirconia composites, which are favored for their biocompatibility, hypoallergenicity, and corrosion-free properties. Zirconia also boasts excellent osseointegration and a lower incidence of peri-implantitis.
Zirconia composites, such as Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) and Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA), have improved significantly, becoming reliable load-bearing ceramics with enhanced physical properties. Their stability in the oral environment has been proven over extended periods.
This presentation will discuss zirconia as a bioceramic implant material, its rationale, indications, and benefits. It will include clinical cases from the past fifteen years using different zirconia dental implant systems and prosthetic solutions.
Objectives:
1. Understand zirconia as a bioceramic material.
2. Understand and appreciate zirconia’s behavior in bone and the oral environment. 3. Long term health benefits: biotolerance vs biocompatibility.
4. Implant materials and peri-implant health.
5. Understand the limitations of ceramic implants.
