Ultimate force and stiffness of 2-piece zirconium dioxide implants with screw-retained monolithic lithium-disilicate reconstructions

ConclusionsThe examined 2-piece ZrO2 implant system mounted to LS2-restorations seems to be a stable unit under in-vitro conditions with mechanical properties compared to loading capacity of physiological force. The metal-free implant reconstructions demonstrated high stiffness and ultimate force under quasi-static load for single tooth replacement under consideration of the dental indication of narrow and standard diameter implants.
