Aesthetic Outcomes of Single Tooth Implant Using Metal Ceramic Restorations With Either Zirconia or Titanium Abutments

NCT02315794 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2014-12-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Different studies have proposed the use of zirconia abutments to improve the aesthetic outcomes in the anterior sextant, however the results have been inconclusive. A tendency towards a better aesthetic result with the use of zirconia instead of titanium abutments was observed, although more technical complications were also recorded.The use of zirconia abutments in the anterior maxillary region showed a tendency towards better matching, although differences were not significant. In addition, with these abutments more technical complications were observed, what increased the cost and time. More studies with larger samples and longer observations periods are needed to recommend the use of zirconia abutments for this clinical situation
