Metal-ceramic and monolithic zirconia single crowns lead to similar peri implant marginal bone changes: Study
According to recent research, investigators have found out that the peri-implant marginal bone level change was comparable after prosthetic loading for metal-ceramic and monolithic zirconia single crowns, as published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
Monolithic zirconia has excellent mechanical and biologic properties. However, evidence of the clinical properties of implant-supported monolithic zirconia prostheses is limited.
Hence, authors Xiao-tingShen and colleagues from the The Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Research of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, PR China conducted this study with the sole purpose to compare the peri-implant marginal bone changes of metal-ceramic and monolithic zirconia single crowns in the posterior region after prosthetic loading.
