Titanium and zirconia are the two primary materials used in dental implan- tology. While both materials have been used successfully for many years, there is still a debate about which one is better. Titanium has been the traditional choice for dental implant surgery for over 40 years. However, there are some concerns with the use of titanium implants...

Clinical success rate of two-piece zirconia dental implants
Dr Joseph Sarkissian & Minehli Kamarzar, USA
With the recent development of mechanically improved and clinically versatile zirconia implants, their clinical use over the past several years has become more widespread globally. Although zirconia implants currently rep- resent a niche market, their popularity worldwide is grow- ing rapidly.1 Studies show that zirconia implants offer many advantages over metal implants, including aesthetics, greatly reduced plaque retention and incidence of peri-implantitis, lower accumulation of surface biofilm compared with titanium implants, outstanding biocompatibility, and a degree of osseointegration and soft- tissue response that is superior to that of titanium dental implants.2–5 ...

Immediately placed two-piece zirconia implant with customised healing abutment in the maxillary molar region
Drs Alexandre Marques Paes da Silva, Dennis de Carvalho Ferreira, Francisco Augusto Horta dos Santos, Mayla Kezy Silva Teixeira, Daniel Moraes Telles & Eduardo José Veras Lourenço, Brazil
Over the past two decades, the utilisation of metal-free materials for oral rehabilitation has surged and emerged as an alternative to titanium in the production of dental implants.1 Among these materials, yttria-stabilised tetragonal zirconia polycrystal has gained recognition as the preferred choice for such applications owing to its superior mechanical properties and reduced tendency to accumulate bacterial plaque.2 ...

Magneto-dynamic site preparation for zirconia implants: A dry, cold and minimally invasive protocol
Dr Franco Giancola, Italy
Today, dentistry is facing new challenges. Demanding and fragile patients who require quick, atraumatic and risk-free treatments are increasingly presenting to our dental clinics. These patients require immediately loaded implants even in local situations of bone atrophy and despite precarious health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases. Furthermore, the COVID pandemic has made dental care increasingly complex regarding the management of operating times and the prevention of infections...

A 40-year-old patient in good general health came to our practice wishing to replace the bridge extending from pontic #24 to tooth #27 and to place an implant in region #24. An initial digital radiograph and a CBCT scan were performed to analyse the possibility of placing an implant in this area (Figs. 1 & 2). The area did not present with any periapical or intraosseous lesions. The bone width and height were found to be sufficient for implantation, and there was no atrophy. A mucous retention cyst was observed in the left maxillary sinus...
