OVERVIEW

Titanium implants have experienced a tremendous technological acceleration in recent years. Innovation has occurred in surface finishes, design, implant connections and immediate protocols. In addition, the advent of digital technology in Cad/Cam zirconia prosthetics and guided surgery has allowed us to treat our patients more quickly, with a better aesthetic result. However, the prevalence of peri-implantitis (PI) around titanium implants should be a daily clinical concern due to the high incidence of PI. Recent studies report the presence of titanium particles around implants with PI compared to a healthy peri-implant environment. This is a topic that occupies most of our congresses and raises the question of the long-term reliability of our implant treatments.

The qualities of zirconium ceramics as a prosthetic restorative material show us on a daily basis an extremely low bacterial colonisation, and soft tissues which are then a barrier to the underlying infection. Zirconium is a metal which when oxidised becomes a ceramic, zirconium oxide. This loses all the properties of a metal, thermal and electrical conductivity, which contributes greatly to its high biocompatibility with periodontal cells.

Zirconia implants can be a real alternative to titanium for our patients, especially those with allergies, autoimmune diseases, periodontal risk factors and metal intolerance. We also have to take into account the current trend in dentistry towards non-metallic restorations, and the aesthetic aspect of our restorations in the long term. The absence of oxidation reaction around zirconia implants and the reduction of bacterial plaque are real assets for their long term stability in the oral sphere. With 20 years of hindsight, the latest generations of one-piece and now two-piece zirconia implants offer mechanical and biological qualities closer to the natural root. The objective of my presentation will be to share my 14 years of experience.
