Zirconia dental implants are a new and exciting development in implant dentistry. Preliminary studies suggest zirconia implants induce less inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and promote a favorable epithelial attachment to the implant. They have a more natural appearance that may enhance esthetics, and contain no metal, making them ideal for patients who have metal sensitivities or prefer a metal-free option.
This course will provide an introduction to zirconia dental implants.
