All That You Need to Know About Zirconia Dental Implants (Part-8)
Full ceramic implants made of zirconia were introduced in Europe.
Those who introduced zirconia combined the abutment and fixture together for form, function, aesthetic, and health purposes.
Gum health is assured by using zirconia implants as a titanium implant alternative.
Dental implants and abutments made of zirconia offer a metal-free solution for patients who may have high sensitivity to metal or worry about the bacterial infection risk.
Abutments are done to match the color of the teeth because zirconia can be any color.
The bio-inert material exhibits good tissue compatibility with your mouth and low accumulation of plaque when compared to titanium.
Zirconia is a non-metallic or metal-free treatment that makes use of cubic zirconia, a form of zirconium dioxide that’s cubic crystalline in composition. This material is synthetic and is known for how colorless can be colored to match the teeth.
These implants are easier to maintain and clean.
They won’t peek out of the gumline like metal-colored implants would (gum discoloration).
The material doesn’t corrode like metal and it’s ultimately bio-inert or won’t cause infection.
