To evaluate the 15-year survival rate of zirconia (Y-TZP) implants with a roughened acid-etched surface in a retrospective post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study. One-piece ceramic implants (CeraRoot) with a roughened acid-etched surface (ICE) were used. Six different implant shapes/sizes were used in this study.

Purpose: Full-arch implant rehabilitation with four implants has become an accepted modality of treatment for fixed restorations in totally edentulous mandibles or maxillas; however, there is little scientific evidence on the outcome for the same treatment with three implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a protocol for three implants (all-on-three) supporting a delayed loaded fixed prosthesis in the completely edentulous maxilla, mandible, or both.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective clinical study included 17 patients with 72 implants to restore 24 fully edentulous arches.
This case report describes the full-mouth oral rehabilitation of a titanium allergic patient. The patient was a young female with amelogenesis imperfecta who had generalized massive tooth destruction. All teeth in the mouth were extracted and 15 CeraRoot acid-etched (ICE surface) implants were placed (seven implants in the maxilla and eight implants in the mandible).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year success rate of zirconia (ZrO2) implants with three different kinds of surfaces.
Materials And Methods: One-piece zirconia dental implants (CeraRoot) with three different roughened surfaces were designed and manufactured for this study: coated, uncoated, and acid-etched. Five different implant designs were manufactured.
Ceramics have been used in dentistry and medicine for many years. Today, one of the most popular ceramics is zirconia because of its outstanding mechanical properties, which make it suitable for many indications formerly reserved for metals. Zirconia-based ceramics have been used for many years as the core for single crowns and long-span fixed prostheses.

Traditionally, missing and hopeless teeth have been replaced by threaded cylindric implants. Implant manufacturers have tried to design implants that more closely resemble tooth anatomy, but the neck and abutment connection areas have not changed much in the past 30 years. Some companies have produced titanium implants with scalloped contours, but the clinical application of this remains uncertain.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of 100 consecutive zirconia dental implants with 2 different rough surfaces after 1 year of follow-up.
Materials And Methods: One-piece zirconia dental implants (CeraRoot, Barcelona, Spain) with 1 of 2 different roughened surfaces were designed and manufactured for this study. Five different implant designs were manufactured.
