📝Abstract

Metallic parts in dental implants often post an aesthetic problem to many a patient. An anatomically thin gingiva exposes the underlying metal parts of a conventional titanium implant. This results in a severe aesthetic compromise for related patients. Currently zirconium is an aesthetically superior material which is being used in fabricating implants which mimic natural teeth as closely as possible. This paper deals with various aspects of zirconium implants and its uses in oral rehabilitation procedures.

Key Words: Implants, Esthetics Flaws, Erased.
