Ti-Zr alloy (ROXOLID) will become a Paradigm Shift in Implant Material? -A Narrative Review

Abstract

Titanium and Zirconia are one of the most widely used biomaterials for dental implants. Titanium has an excellent osseointegration but has insufficient mechanical resistance and the zirconia implants are used in anterior regions. So, TiZr alloy( Roxolid) was introduced that increased mechanical resistance than titanium alloys with similar biocompatibility to bone tissues. In this narrative review, the authors discuss various properties of TiZr alloy and use of these as implant materials due to their superior properties. Keywords: Titanium, Zirconia, TiZr alloy, Roxolid, Implant material.
