Patient-reported outcomes of zirconia dental implants: a systematic review and future directions.
J Patient Rep Outcomes
January 2025
Purpose: Zirconia dental implants show excellent biocompatibility and tissue integration, low affinity for plaque, and favorable biomechanical properties. However, these objective measures do not adequately replicate the patient's perception. This systematic review evaluated the evidence on patient-reported outcome (PROs) in zirconia dental implant treatment.

- In 2017, Europe banned the use of amalgam fillings for children under 15 and pregnant/breastfeeding women, creating a demand for better alternative materials.
- This study tested the surface roughness of five different amalgam-replacement materials using six finishing techniques across three time points, involving 960 samples made from 3D-printed molds.
- Results showed that conventional and hybrid glass-ionomer cements had smoother surfaces than high-viscosity alternatives, with some materials demonstrating stable roughness over time, emphasizing the need for careful selection of finishing methods.
Objectives: To date, studies have only investigated the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) after removal of third molars from the mandible or maxilla. Removal of the upper and lower third molars is typically combined into one session per side; therefore, this study aimed to investigate influence on PRF.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled, clinical trial (split-mouth design) included 25 patients.
This study aims to evaluate the influence of the additional use of enamel matrix derivate (EMD) in the treatment of gingival recession defects using a coronally advanced flap (CAF) and a xenogeneic dermal matrix (XDM) by means of digital and clinical assessment methods. In this prospective randomized controlled study, recession height and area, width and thickness of keratinized gingiva, pocket probing depth, and clinical attachment levels were measured at the baseline and followed up for one year. Fifteen patients ( = 15) with 24 gingival recession defects were treated between 2019 and 2021.

(2) Methods: In preclinical and clinical surgical setups, an AR-guided visualization system based on Microsoft's HoloLens 2 was assessed for complex lower third molar (LTM) extractions. In this study, the system's potential intraoperative feasibility and usability is described first.
