Metal‐Free Custom‐Made Zirconia Implants—A Prospective 5‐Year Follow‐Up Single‐Arm Clinical Trial
Survival rate of these particular ZV3 implants in our study was lower than expected and clinically not acceptable. Hence, ZV3 implant placement as applied in this study cannot be recommended for clinical practice. Further research on the different appearances of mechanical failure in ZrO<sub>2</sub> implants would be highly recommended before a larger prospective randomized clinical trial is conducted to evaluate treatment with custom-made ZrO<sub>2</sub> dental implants.
