The answer lies in understanding that the current success of ceramic implants depends on the application of biological factors and dental technology to treatment outcomes. With 25 years of experience in ceramic implants, the author reviews more than 26,000 personally placed zirconia implants. In this presentation, he discusses four main features/conditions to expect a perfect result with high predictability: 1) The immunological properties of zirconia implants. 2) Bone metabolism and immune system. 3) Implant shape requirements and modifications to promote soft tissue regeneration in combination with fully guided surgery. 4) Advanced bone grafting techniques based on digital techniques to reconstruct anatomical integrity.
