One-piece zirconia oral implants supporting three-unit fixed dental prostheses: Ten-year results from a prospective case series
Despite favorable initial outcomes, the one-piece zirconia implants studied showed a low 10-year survival rate, primarily due to peri‑implantitis. These findings highlight the importance of long-term monitoring and material selection when using zirconia implants to support multi-unit restorations. Clinicians should exercise caution with similar implant designs.
