 This paper provides a literature review on dental implant materials, specifically focusing on conventional titanium implants and newer zirconia implants. The paper discusses the material science and clinical considerations for both implant types and their physical properties influence on treatment outcomes. While titanium remains the gold standard, zirconia implants may have potential in the future, but require further in vitro and clinical studies to determine their effectiveness. Special technical experience is needed when working with zirconia implants to minimize mechanical failure. This article was authored by Riembi Osman and Michael V. Swain.
