Rehabilitation technologies in orthopedic dentistry using ceramic implants.

Abstract

Studies have shown that up to 6% of the population have an allergic reaction to titanium, which can lead to implant loss (non-integration or rejection) and peri-implantitis. At the same time, for more than 25 years, zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) has been successfully used as a material for the manufacture of suprastructures and retainers of dental implants in metal-free restorations, which demonstrates excellent biomechanical properties, such as high fracture toughness and flexural strength, and also ensures successful osseointegration. The European Society for Ceramic Implantology (ESCI) global survey on the performance of ceramic implants confirmed the benefits of zirconia in terms of biocompatibility and a weak association with inflammation. The review of the literature made it possible to identify a number of advantages of modern technologies in orthopedic dentistry using ceramic implants, which make it possible to improve the quality of providing orthopedic dental care to the population in terms of safety and reliability.
