Background: This systematic review evaluates the available scientific literature to demonstrate the aesthetic and clinical benefits and to determine the survival and the success of zirconium dioxide implants concerning titanium implants.
Material And Methods: The electronic databases were searched until January 2020. Outcome measures were pink aesthetic score (PAS), white aesthetic score (WAS), bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD). The addressed PICO question was: In partially edentulous patients in the upper-anterior sector, do zirconium dioxide implants provide aesthetic benefits over conventional titanium implants?
Results: In the 15 articles included after the screening were evaluated respectively, the pink aesthetic score, white aesthetics score, the peri-implant, and crown index, bleeding on probing, plaque index, probing pocket depth, radiographic bone loss, papilla height, and survival and success rate. The results show how the aesthetic and clinical benefits and the survival and success rate of zirconium dioxide implants are, in general, better than titanium implants.
Conclusions: Despite the optimal aesthetics, clinical and survival results obtained in the review, more studies are needed to confirm these data. Ceramic dental implants, zirconia implants, esthetics, zirconium dioxide and zirconia.

Background: Resin cements often require substrate-specific pretreatment. Recently, universal adhesive systems have been introduced, simplifying procedures by eliminating the need for multiple adhesives and offering options that do not require light curing. This study investigated the bonding performance of universal adhesive systems combined with dual-polymerising resin cements on enamel, dentin, zirconia, lithium disilicate ceramics (LDS), and resin blocks.

Background: The mechanical properties of framework materials significantly influence stress distribution and the long-term success of implant-supported prostheses. Although titanium, cobalt-chromium, zirconia, and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are widely used, their biomechanical performance under dynamic loading conditions remains insufficiently investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of four framework materials with different Young's modulus using dynamic finite element stress analysis.

Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

Red mud (RM), an iron oxide-rich solid waste, shows potential as a catalyst for selective catalytic reduction in denitrification processes. This study investigates the catalytic performance and mechanism of metal-modified RM in reducing NO from diesel vehicle exhaust. Acid-washed RM catalysts were impregnated with varying ratios of cerium (Ce) and zirconium (Zr).
