Ceramic Dental Implant Materials

In the us we have been using zirconia for implants since 2007 europe since the late 1980 s while we have been using titanium.

Ceramic dental implant materials.

Zirconia implants are somewhat new to the implant arena. Zirconia is a naturally white material that is strong and carries the same benefits as titanium but is 100 metal free. In addition to our ground breaking implant surfaces we also offer a unique portfolio of different dental implant materials. Dental implants are tooth root replacements capped with a ceramic dental crown.

7 in 1975 dr. Schulte led a team which placed implants made of this material immediately after tooth loss. It remains one of the best dental implant materials of all times. The crown replacement tooth is connected to the implant with an abutment.

Because ceramic implants are more natural there is lower bone resorption and inflammatory responses when compared to those caused by titanium implants. It is regarded as the most promising future of dental implant materials. Titanium was once the material of choice for implants but now zirconia has emerged as the elite implant material. For every indication and the patient s specific needs and requirements you can choose between grade 4 titanium roxolid or zirconia.

Zirconia dental implant materials in contrast to titanium zirconia is a recent invention. As an alternative type of dental material to titanium ceramic implants have been around for a surprisingly long time. Zirconia dental implant materials saw full abutment uses in the early 1990s.
