Zirconia abutment for single-tooth implant – A Case Report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Dentistry - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Titanium implant abutments have been the most widely used material for many years as they are biocompatible and provide excellent mechanical retention. However, in clinical situations wherein there is thin periodontal biotype or an unexpected soft tissue recession around the implant, the metallic grey colour becomes evident, becoming an aesthetic failure. Hence, there is a shift from titanium abutment material to zirconium abutment material which has high translucency and mechanical strength. This article discusses the aesthetic replacement of anterior tooth of a young girl using zirconium implant abutment.
