Clinical and radiographic success of injection‐molded 2‐piece zirconia implants submitted to immediate loading: A 12‐month report of two cases

Abstract

This case report describes the treatment of two patients who presented with single edentulous sites in the region of upper premolars and were rehabilitated through the placement of injection‐molded 2‐piece zirconia implants and immediate single crowns. Three months after surgery, definitive prostheses were confectioned through digital workflow. Both patients were followed for 12 months during which clinical and radiographic implant success were observed, concerning implant stability, absence of peri‐implantitis signs, complete implant osseointegration, good marginal bone‐level maintenance, and excellent soft tissue esthetics. No biological or mechanical complications were observed within this period.

Aesthetic and Functional Rehabilitation by Associating Injection-Molded, Immediate-Loaded, Two-Piece Zirconia Implants and Ceramic Veneers

“…Also, in vitro studies have shown comparable or even better soft tissue behavior around zirconia discs, with better healing responses, which might positively affect peri-implant soft tissue health [24]. the clinical report suggested that treatment with a two-piece zirconia implant and zirconia prosthetic components is a reliable and successful alternative to single elements and immediate rehabilitation, with predictable short-term results about peri-implant health and aesthetics [27].…”
