Objectives During the last decades, several changes of paradigm have modified our view on
how biomaterials' surface characteristics influence the bioresponse. After becoming aware …

Purpose Ceramics are widely used as indirect restorative materials in dentistry because of
their high biocompatibility and pleasing aesthetics. The objective is to review the state of the …

The goal of the current publication is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the
topic of dental implant materials. The following paper focuses on conventional titanium …

Zirconia (ZrO2) based dental ceramics have been considered to be advantageous materials
with adequate mechanical properties for the manufacturing of medical devices. Due to its …

Despite decades of titanium as the gold standard in oral implantology, the search for
alternatives has been growing. High esthetic standards and increasing incidence of titanium …

Purpose: Titanium based implant systems, though considered as the gold standard for
rehabilitation of edentulous spaces, have been criticized for many inherent flaws. The onset …

Zirconia (ZrO2) is a ceramic material with adequate mechanical properties for manufacturing
of medical devices. Zirconia stabilized with Y2O3 has the best properties for these …

The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for fabrication of dental implants. Because of
potential immunologic and possible esthetic compromises with titanium implants, novel …

Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to screen the literature in order to locate animal
and clinical data on bone–implant contact (BIC) and clinical survival/success that would help …
