Ceramic Implantology
Ceramic dental implants are most commonly manufactured from high-strength zirconia. Modern systems include both one-piece and two-piece designs, with ongoing development in implant surfaces, prosthetic components and digital workflows.
Ceramic implants may provide a valuable treatment option in selected patients, including those seeking metal-free treatment or where ceramic materials offer particular clinical or aesthetic advantages. They also have specific surgical, restorative and mechanical considerations.
APSCI supports balanced, evidence-based implant selection. Titanium remains the most extensively studied implant material, while ceramic implants provide an additional treatment option that should be selected according to the individual patient, treatment site and restorative requirements.
