Fractographic analyses of failed one-piece zirconia implant restorations

Promising results of initial clinical trials with yttria-stabilized zirconia have led to more extensive use of zirconia in dental implant superstructures. The applications have extended to abutments and complex individually designed crown-abutment one-piece structures. Little is known about their clinical success and the primary cause of failures.
