Comparison of Marginal Bone Loss Between Titanium and Titanium-Zirconium Implants at Least 5 Years at Function

Abstract

Titanium (Ti) is the leading material in the implant dentistry for the treatment of either partial or full edentulism. More recently, Titanium- Zirconium (TiZr) alloy has been developed for more demanding clinical conditions, as it shows greater mechanical and biological features than commercially pure Ti Grade 4. Survival of dental implants is based on the relationship between implant and oral tissues. Marginal bone level stability around implants has been used as one of the main criteria for implant success. Implant failures are often associated with implant mobility due to marginal bone loss. The aim of this study was to compare Titanium and Titanium-Zirconium implants’ marginal bone loss values which were at function more than 5 years. Titanium and 13-17% Zr containing TiZr alloy implants included in this study. Marginal bone loss measurements were performed digitally in computer software programme. TiZr alloy implants showed less marginal bone loss compared to traditional titanium implants but this difference statistically was not significant. TiZr alloy may become the dominant material in implant material choice in order to increase clinical implant success.
