Abstract

AbstractThis article describes a case report of an ongoing clinical investigation with zirconium oxide (ZrO2) dental implants. The patient was a young female who was missing an upper right canine. A one‐piece (implant + abutment) ZrO2 implant (CeraRoot) with acid‐etched surface (ICE surface®) was implanted. The preoperative situation was ideal in terms of soft tissue and bone preservation, and the surgery was done transmucosally without having to raise a flap. The soft tissue healed successfully around the implants within few days. The case was finally restored with a ZrO2 crown (CeraCrown) and ceramic characterisation.
