Dr Fabrice Baudot, expert in implantology and founding member of EACim, shared his insights at the recent Best of Implantology congress.
In a captivating presentation, he highlighted the significant advantages of full zirconia implants used in micro-surgery. Key points from his presentation:
- Superior biocompatibility: Zirconia implants offer better tissue integration than titanium, reducing the risk of complications.
- Natural aesthetics: The white color of zirconia perfectly imitates the natural shade of teeth, ensuring an optimal aesthetic result.
- Plaque resistance: The smooth surface of zirconia limits plaque accumulation, promoting better gingival health.
- Minimally invasive approach: Microsurgery combined with zirconia implants allows for less traumatic interventions and faster recovery.
- Durability: Contrary to popular belief, zirconia implants demonstrate excellent long-term mechanical resistance.
- Lack of corrosion: Unlike titanium, zirconia does not corrode, eliminating the risks associated with the release of metal particles.
Dr. Baudot emphasized that this approach represents a major advance in the field of implantology, offering superior results both functionally and aesthetically.
