Differential Healing Patterns of Mucosal Seal on Zirconia and Titanium Implant.

ABSTRACT: Zirconia implants have become an alternative to titanium implants due to several advantages. The zirconia implant is relatively esthetic and highly resistant to bacteria. While biomaterial studies for zirconia implants have considerably accumulated, in vivo studies have not yet progressed. In the present study, the functional and biological properties of zirconia implants were analyzed thorough in vitro and in vivo studies. The proliferation properties of periodontal cells on the discs of machined surface titanium, hydroxyapatite coated titanium and zirconia were analyzed, and zirconia was shown to be favorable. In addition, small implant fixtures that can be applied to the jawbone of mice were manufactured and transplanted to C57BL/6 mice. The adhesion molecules expre
