AUG 19-21, 2021
Paris Las Vegas, Resort & Casino, Nevada, United States
TOPIC: Peri-Implantitis and Zirconia Implants: Results After 5 Years of Clinical Performance
SPEAKER: Sofia Karapataki, DDS
Course Description
Peri-implantitis is one of the most common complications with titanium and titanium alloy implants. The etiological factors of peri-implantitis are multiple and are now believed to be also related to the implant materials. This is one of the main reasons why many dentists have had to consider or turn to alternative materials for implantation such as zirconia. However, is zirconia completely immune to this complication? Different reasons that are referred to as causative factors for the occurrence of Peri-implantitis in titanium implants are presented in comparison to zirconia implants. Findings and observations from clinical cases observed in two implant centers are presented and all the cases included in this presentation have been under at least 5 years of clinical performance in the oral environment and in a variety of clinical situations. All implants evaluated are a two-piece zirconia implant by Patent Ceramic Implants system which were restored with customizable and cementable glass fiber abutments
