Today, ceramic implants are not only an alternative to titanium fixtures, but due to their biologic, esthetic and long-term behavior the future in dental implant therapy.
Over the last decades, surface modification procedures are applied to titanium and zirconia dental implants in order to enhance tissue integration. On hard tissue level, the goal is to establish faster osseointegration as well as a higher bone-to-implant contact area. During implant insertion, a very rough surface can also have an abrasive effect at the bone interface. As a result, a several microns thick smear layer composed of bone debris and blood covers the implant surface immediately following installation. Besides contact osteogenesis, this bone smear layer has also an osteoinductive effect at the implant-tissue interface that further speeds up the entire osseointegration process. On soft tissue level, material characteristics as well as design aspects influence the formation of initial tissue-implant interface. This presentation shares pre-clinical and clinical results of hard and soft tissue healing aspects and fascinating insights of early tissue interaction around immediately placed, surface-modified 2-piece tissue-level zirconia implants. Clinical implications for an advanced and accelerated patient treatment using Patent Dental Implant system are demonstrated and discussed.
