In last decade, we have seen a rise in the use of ceramic implants. Ceramic implants have become an appealing and reliable alternative to titanium implants, and ceramic implantology is no longer a taboo subject. Zirconia is recognized as strong material, able to integrate biocompatibally with bone and maintain rigid fixation after loading. This lecture shows that zirconia dental implants can be used as clinically reliable alternatives to titanium implants in solving everyday clinical needs. The use of zirconia implants as a first choice in tooth replacement will be discussed.

Objectives:
Describe the current evidence-based clinical findings on zirconia as a material for dental implants.
Describe advantages and limitations of zirconia dental implants.
Discuss clinical applications of zirconia dental implants.
