Dental implant material

Currently there are over 95% of pure titanium dental implants. It is about the biocompatible metals in medicine. For this reason, are made of titanium as artificial heart valves, artificial joints and osteosynthesis. The remaining implants are made of zirconium oxide, which because of the almost white color is aesthetically preferable to the gray titanium, however, has several drawbacks in the further processing. These consist mainly in a longer healing time and the fact that they must be ground to hold the superstructure in the mouth.
