BACKGROUND: Titanium has been the most popular material of choice for dental
implantology over the past few decades. Its properties have been found to be most
suitable for the success of implant treatment. But recently, zirconia is slowly
emerging as one of the materials which might replace the gold standard of dental
implant, i.e., titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Literature was searched to
retrieve information about zirconia dental implant and studies were critically
analyzed. PubMed database was searched for information about zirconia dental
implant regarding mechanical properties, osseointegration, surface roughness,
biocompatibility, and soft tissue health around it. The literature search was
limited to English language articles published from 1975 to 2015. RESULTS: A
total of 45 papers met the inclusion criteria for this review, among the relevant
search in the database. CONCLUSION: Literature search showed that some of the
properties of zirconia seem to be suitable for making it an ideal dental implant,
such as biocompatibility, osseointegration, favourable soft tissue response and
aesthetics due to light transmission and its color. At the same time, some
studies also point out its drawbacks. It was also found that most of the studies
on zirconia dental implants are short-term studies and there is a need for more
long-term clinical trials to prove that zirconia is worth enough to replace
titanium as a biomaterial in dental implantology.
