Animal study compares implant stability and bone response in extraction sockets, revealing benefits of zirconia.
In natural periodontitis canine model, titanium and zirconia implants placed into fresh extraction sockets demonstrated similar stability during healing period. Zirconia implants exhibited significantly less MBL than titanium under the condition of rough surface exposure, indicating a more favorable peri-implant bone response with zirconia.
