Perspectivas contemporâneas na odontologia: uma revisão comparativa entre implantes de zircônia e titânio

Abstract

The present study of a narrative review whose objective was to analyze published data on zirconia dental implants from different perspectives using titanium implants as a comparative parameter. A review of the selected articles indicated that zirconia implants present satisfactory biomechanical properties specific to the demands of the stomatognathic system. Furthermore, these implants have excellent osseointegration and their surface is compatible with the peri-implant tissue, as they are less prone to biofilm accumulation. Based on the reviewed literature, it is suggested that zirconia has the potential to become the main choice of material for implants, especially in aesthetic rehabilitation; however, some issues require further investigation.
