“ZIRCONIA CERAMIC DENTAL IMPLANTS ARE HERE TO STAY: TEN YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL OBSERVATION” – 2020 EACim congress

Lecture Abstract:

Polycrystalline bioceramics such as zirconia composites thanks to their physical properties, inertness, hypo-allergenicity and superior aesthetics have emerged as the materials of choice for manufacturing implants used for metal free replacement of teeth. However there remains limitations as to where, when and how ceramic implants can be used with predictability and success.

This presentation will introduce the audience to ten years of clinical and scientific experience pointing to the role of implant materials, design as factors in the choice of implant systems in specific cases of teeth replacement. A wide range of clinical cases will be presented correlating scientific evidence and clinical findings over ten years.
