Zirconia vs. titanium implants and biofilm buildup
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares how much biofilm (a sticky layer of bacteria) builds up on two types of dental implants – one made of zirconia (a white ceramic) and one made of titanium (a metal). It's for people getting a single implant to replace a missing tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult of any gender.
- You are getting a single dental implant placed.
- You are in good enough health for surgery (ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You don't have serious uncontrolled medical conditions (like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.).
- You are not taking certain medications (like blood thinners, bone medications, or immune treatments).

This study checks how well two kinds of dental implants (zirconia and titanium) work over 5 years in replacing a single tooth. You may be included if you already received the specific implant type and restoration the study requires and you can attend regular checkups.
This study compares two types of material (zirconia or titanium) used as a frame in full-arch screw-retained implant bridges. It aims to find which material has fewer complications, helps patients who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws.
This trial compares two types of tooth implant materials for replacing a missing lower back tooth. It looks at bone health and biting strength to see which material works better.
This study compares how well the gum and bone around dental implants heal when using zirconia (a white ceramic) versus standard metal abutments. It aims to see if zirconia leads to healthier tissues around single-tooth replacements.
This study tests two ways of attaching a zirconia (a strong, tooth-colored material) bridge to dental implants – one method cements the bridge inside the mouth, the other outside – to see which puts less stress on the implants. If you already have two implants and need a bridge, this trial might help determine the best way to attach it for long-term success.
This study compares two timing approaches for placing a single implant tooth: putting the implant load (chewing force) on it sooner versus later. It may help show which timing works best for healing and long-term comfort in people with suitable bone and gum tissue.
