Influences of Implant and Framework Materials on Stress Distribution: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis Study

Abstract

Narrow-diameter TiZr implants may be preferred for patients who have insufficient bone volume without bone augmentation procedures due to the material's enhanced biomechanical properties. ZrO₂ implants may be a suitable alternative for esthetic regions. Further clinical studies are recommended to investigate the long-term performance of TiZr and ZrO₂ implants.
