Description
Summary:Dental implants are crucial in contemporary oral rehabilitation, necessitating optimal integration with the surrounding soft tissues for durable success. The attachment between the implant surface and peri-implant mucosa should establish a secure seal to prevent bacterial infiltration and subsequent tissue inflammation. This concise review examines the histological and biological perspectives of peri-implant soft tissue reactions to zirconium and titanium abutments, shedding light on their respective advantages and limitations. While titanium has been the gold standard, zirconia has gained attention due to its biocompatibility and aesthetic appeal. Histological studies show comparable soft tissue attachment and inflammatory responses between the two materials. Further research is needed to explore surface treatments and optimize outcomes in dental implant rehabilitation.
