The advantages of implants fabricated from zirconium dioxide, such as aes- thetics and high corrosion resistance, make them an interesting therapeutic alternative. Clinicians must realise, however, that just like implants made of titanium and titanium alloys, not every ceramic implant successfully osseointegrates...

Single-tooth restoration with a two-piece Patent™ Implant—Immediate implant placement and loading in the aesthetic zone
Dr Harald Fahrenholz, Austria
Today, practitioners have to meet growing patient demand for aesthetic tooth replacements that remain healthy in the long term, often involving immediate implant placement and loading. In the following article, a case is presented in which the patient’s aesthetic zone was restored using a two-piece zirconia implant system which has been an integral part of the author’s clinical armamentar- ium for over fifteen years. In clinical studies, this implant system has shown high survival rates, stable marginal bone levels and a favourable soft-tissue reaction.1,2 Addi- tionally, in an independent nine-year study—the first long- term study on two-piece zirconia implants—it demon- strated healthy and stable hard and soft tissue, excellent aesthetics with a visible increase in keratinised gingiva volume around all implants investigated, no fractures, and no peri-implantitis.3 It is therefore ideally suited for the indication described...

Zirconia implants are one of the newest and most excit- ing developments in dental implantology. Multiple stud- ies have proved that zirconia implants induce little to no peri-implant tissue inflammation and allow for high levels of epithelial attachment. Additionally, these implants look more natural; hence, they provide improved aesthetics. Furthermore, they do not have metal components, which makes them ideal for people with metal sensitivities and patients who would prefer their implants to be metal- free.1–3...

Stability ensured—Advancing implant dentistry with Z-SYSTEMS bone level ceramic implants
Dr Paul S. Petrungaro
In an interesting case performed by Dr Paul S. Petrun- garo, Z-SYSTEMS bone level ceramic implants show- cased their exceptional capabilities in a challenging scenario. The case involved a 100% fully-ceramic dental implant reconstruction utilising Z-SYSTEMS’ bone level implants within an All-on-X fully digital workflow technique. The patient, a survivor of throat and tongue cancer, presented unique challenges that demanded a so- phisticated approach, and Z-SYSTEMS’ innovative ceramic implants proved their efficacy...
