One-piece AWI G-Line ceramic implants in the premolar region—Clinical use of the AWI single-unit implant system following delayed implantation
Bozhidar Hristov Savev, Germany
Patients who smoke are at increased risk of implant failure. Thorough pretreatment and a consistent pro- phylaxis and recall programme are essential. In addition, both clinician- and patient-related considerations regarding implant system and material selection must be taken into account. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient smoking more than ten cigarettes per day. Following invasive tooth extraction and simultaneous socket preservation, one-piece AWI G-Line zirconia implants and all-ceramic single crowns were used for prosthetic restoration...

Full zirconia implants are now considered a valid alter- native to titanium in certain indications, such as metal intolerance and reconstructions in aesthetic areas.1,2 Osseointegration of these implants and success rates comparable to titanium implants have been demon- strated.3 On the other hand, their white colour unquestionably gives them an aesthetic advantage. Their ZrO2 structure and physical properties give zirconia implants a very favourable biological behaviour towards peri-implant soft tissues

Exploring the impact of hydroxyapatite coatings on zirconia dental implants: A short review
Saurabh Gupta BDS MDS, India
Zirconia biomaterials have been used in dentistry for replacing missing teeth due to their superior biocompatibility, high mechanical properties, and higher corrosion resistance. These implant materials have a high modulus of elasticity, high stability, and great optical properties for aesthetic purposes. Nevertheless, the higher elastic modulus results in stress shielding effect of the hard tissue, leading to local bone resorption around the dental implant...
