Zirconia vs. titanium dental implants in maxillofacial trauma: a preliminary comparative biomechanical analysis in the maxilla using the finite element method
When exposed to frontal trauma application both implant materials showed similar effects on cortical peri-implant bone; however, zirconia dental implants provide for a significantly higher maximum stress value within the implant than titanium implants representing a higher risk of fracture.
