Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, esthetic, and patient-reported outcomes of one-piece zirconia implants placed in incisal areas using digital surgical templates after 1 year of follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Patients who had lost an anterior tooth received a 3.3-mm-diameter zirconia implant placed by computer-guided surgery. Implant survival and soft tissue conditions were assessed periodically 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after loading. Standardized radiographs were taken at definitive prosthesis insertion and 1 year postloading to evaluate peri-implant bone loss. Additionally, the esthetic outcomes and patient-reported outcomes were also investigated.
Results: Twenty zirconia implants were placed in 20 patients with no implants lost, resulting in 100% survival rates. A minor change in the mean marginal bone level (0.14 ± 0.87 mm) was found between definitive prosthetic loading and 12 months later. Peri-implant soft tissue remained stable throughout the observation period. The mean Pink Esthetic Score and White Esthetic Score were 12.05 and 8.60, respectively, while the mean Gingival Papilla Index scores were 1.55 at the mesial papilla and 1.65 at the distal papilla at the 1-year follow-up. The mean visual analog scale scores for patient perception of the overall process, speech, mastication, and esthetics were 93.3 ± 7.8, 95.1 ± 5.3, 93.6 ± 7.6, and 94.5 ± 6.2 mm, respectively.
Conclusion: For the 1-year results, 3.3-mm-diameter one-piece ceramic implants placed by computer-guided surgery showed favorable clinical performances with no failure when used for single-tooth replacement in anterior regions.

The widely available options of different manufacturers in dental implant systems have complicated the selection criteria process for periodontists, necessitating careful consideration of various factors when selecting suitable solutions for individual patient needs. Optimal implant selection requires careful consideration of the patient-specific factors, implant design, and surgical technique. Understanding the biomechanical behavior of implant-tissue interactions is crucial for achieving successful and long-lasting implant therapy.

Materials And Methods: A total of 33 indirect restorations (16 overlay, 17 endocrown) (4 premolar, 29 molar) produced using PCR (Formlabs) were applied to 30 patients by a single dentist. The restorations were evaluated according to the modified USPHS criteria at baseline (7 days), 12 and 24 months times by two independent evaluators.

Statement Of Problem: The outcome of posterior nonvital teeth depends not only on endodontic factors but also on the effectiveness of the restoration. The growing trend in minimally invasive dentistry has led to increasing interest in 1-piece endodontic crowns as an alternative restoration. Nevertheless, their indications and longevity lack extensive exploration, thereby limiting their widespread acceptance in dental practice.

Objectives: To compare marginal bone levels, biological, and technical outcomes of screw-retained versus cemented all-ceramic implant-supported zirconia-based single crowns after an observation period of 7.5 years.
Methods: Forty-four single implants in the esthetic zone in 44 patients (22 females, 22 males) were randomly assigned to two types of restorations: SR (screw-retained); veneered one-piece zirconia abutment and CR (cement-retained); veneered lithium disilicate crown intraorally cemented on a one-piece zirconia abutment.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical performance of implant-prosthetic rehabilitations carried out using ceramic-coated CAD/CAM titanium abutments.
Materials And Methods: Thirty implants were placed in 30 patients and rehabilitated with 30 single crowns attached to CAD/CAM titanium abutments. A conventional procedure was applied, implants were placed after postextraction socket healing, and prosthetic restorations were placed after implant healing.
