Article Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the bone tissue response to zirconia implants with three different surface modifications in comparison with the oxidized titanium surface with the goal to optimize osseointegration in terms of strength and speed.
Materials And Methods: A total of 18 rabbits with 143 implants were used. One hundred and twenty-three were threaded zirconia ceramic implants with three different surface topographies and 20 modified titanium oxide implants were controls. Each rabbit received eight implants and sacrificed after 3 weeks. The removal torque test (RTQ) and histology were performed.
Results: Sixteen out of 18 rabbits completed the study with a total of 110 implants. No statistical significance was observed between the chemical modification implants compared with the topographically modified zirconia implant in terms of interfacial shear strength proven by the RTQ applied. No statistical significance was also observed in the bone-to-implant contact between the zirconia implants and the control oxidized implants.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that additional specific chemical modifications of the topographically modified zirconia implants do not seem to enhance the bone-to-implant contact and appear not to increase the interfacial shear strength.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the inherent and after cyclic loading fracture strength of implant-supported cantilevered fixed prostheses fabricated from recently introduced additively manufactured (AM) and subtractively manufactured (SM) materials, considering variations in prosthesis height.
Materials And Methods: Three cylinder-shaped master files (20 mm long and 11 mm wide) with varying heights (7, 11, and 15 mm) and a titanium-base (Ti-base) abutment space were designed. These designs were used to fabricate a total of 144 specimens with two AM resins indicated for definitive use (Crowntec; AM-CT and Flexcera Smile Ultra+; AM-FS), one high-impact polymer composite (breCAM.

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone) ultrasonic tip in the cleaning around implant-supported restorations and to evaluate the effect of different cement types on the amount of residual cement at the restoration margins.Materials and methods A master model with an implant analogue placed in the upper left first premolar region was used to create 72 cast models and zirconia crowns were fabricated for each model. A total of 72 zirconia crowns were divided into two main groups based on the cleaning method applied after cementation.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of abutment surface treatments (sandblasting and acid or alkali treatments) on the bonding of titanium dental implant abutments and zirconium-supported ceramic crowns with resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement.
Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the optimal surface conditioning method for titanium abutments by comparing the tensile bond strength of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement after sandblasting, acid etching, and alkali treatment.
Methods: Seventy-six dental implant abutments (AnyOne; MegaGen Co.

Background: Monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs) have gained popularity due to their high strength, biocompatibility and reduced veneer chipping compared to bilayered restorations. However, the connector region remains a critical point of mechanical failure, especially in long span implant supported FPDs subjected to high masticatory forces. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the fracture resistance of implant-supported Y-TZP (yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal) fixed partial dentures (FPDs) with two connector sizes (9 mm² and 12 mm²) and two connector cross-sectional shapes (oval and circular).

Statement Of Problem: Coated titanium denture attachments have been studied to ensure adequate retention. However, studies on the retentive force of zirconia denture attachment under different implant angulations and insertion-removal cycles are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different implant angulations and insertion-removal cycles on the retentive force of coated titanium and zirconia denture attachments.
