Abstract

Since their introduction in the 1960s, titanium implants have dominated the field of dental implants. As a result, titanium implant systems are largely the foundation for the goods and solutions, scientific and clinical research, as well as the development and effectiveness of this treatment.The subject of when and why to substitute titanium implants with ceramics is evident for practitioners thinking about adding ceramic implants to their portfolios. Of course, every situation and patient are different, but there are a few things to take into account if ceramic and Titanium implants are an option based on the signs.The patient's resistance to having metallic medical devices inside their body, which might manifest as mucosal recession and the visibility of gray Titanium is one of the problems with titanium implants. The emotional feel of a more 'natural' alternative may be of preference.From a clinical perspective, recent developments in zirconia solutions now mean that the restorative flexibility of a two-piece, cemented, and/or screw-retained options are available, along with proven osseointegration and soft tissue adhesion, [1] generally lower plaque accumulation, [2] and less bacterial adhesion than titanium implants [3]. Titanium implants are narrower at the implant-abutment transition; however, ceramic implants should be wider, and which is what SDS has done since the wide tulip stabilizes the gingiva allowing it to attach. To preserve soft tissue and pink esthetics, Ceramic implants should be placed tissue-level. This will also prevent the disturbance of the valuable bond between implant and the tissue.In various range of cases, Ceramic implants are used as the substitute of the titanium implants as they are given esthetic white appearance and are 100% metal-free.
