In recent years, ceramic implants have become an attractive and reliable alternative to titanium (Ti02) implants. They are highly used today due to their tooth-like color, material properties, biological soft tissue response, low plaque adhesion and minimal inflammatory response in the peri-implant soft tissue compared to titanium implants.
This lecture will cover zirconia as an implantable bioceramic, the rationale, indications and benefits of metal free teeth replacement along with clinical case reports.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand zirconia as an implantable dental material.
• Understanding the evolution of Ceramic Dental Implants.
• Understanding the biological responses of both soft and hard tissues to zirconia implants.
• Learn about the unique surgical and restorative capabilities with the most advanced zirconia implants.
