Implants have been a gold standard treatment protocol for prosthetic rehabilitation in dental practices. Titanium and its alloys have ruled dental implantology since its initiation, harking back to the 1960s. As far as the clinical practice is concerned, many patients worry about the materials being exposed to their oral cavity and the effect this can have on their general wellbeing. While choosing dental implants, it is ideal to utilize the most un-receptive and least harmful material plausible. Throughout the long term, the pattern has been towards keeping away from the utilization of metals in our body. An elective material to titanium exists as ceramics explicitly zirconia for dental implants.
