Dental implant showdown: which zirconia material lasts longer?
NCT ID NCT01974362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of zirconia materials used in full-mouth dental implants: monolithic zirconia (a single, solid ceramic) and zirconia-feldspathic (a ceramic with a porcelain veneer). Researchers will track complications like chipping, cracking, or other issues over at least one year. The goal is to see which material is more durable and requires fewer repairs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Monolithic zirconia (a type of ceramic) and zirconia-feldspathic (ceramic with a veneer) dental implant materials
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help dentists choose a more durable material for full-mouth dental implants, reducing the need for repairs.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center study. Results may not apply to all patients or dental practices. Complications like chipping or breakage can still occur with either material.
