Comparing zirconia vs titanium for full-arch dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Good general health (ASA I or II)
- You are missing all teeth in the jaw being treated (upper, lower, or both)
- You need a full-arch fixed bridge held by 4 to 6 dental implants
- You have enough bone for implants at least 3.5 mm wide and 8 mm long
- The space between your jaw and the opposite teeth is between 15 and 22 mm
- You have at least 2 mm of thick gum tissue at the ridge
- The teeth on the other jaw (arch) must already be replaced with a fixed full-arch implant bridge
- You are a non‑smoker or smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes per day
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, a history of head or neck radiation, or IV bisphosphonate treatment
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study compares patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
This study compares two types of full-arch dental prostheses (PEEK and conventional) placed on four implants in the lower jaw, to see which works better. It may be an option if you need all lower teeth replaced and have healthy jawbone.
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 tests different techniques for taking accurate impressions (molds) of your upper jaw when preparing for full-arch dental implants (a fixed bridge supported by implants). The goal is to improve the fit and success of your final implant-supported teeth.
This trial compares two types of artificial tooth restorations (made from resin or zirconia) placed on dental implants that have already fused with your jawbone. The study tests how well these 3D-printed restorations work and last over time.
This trial tests two ways of making a small back teeth bridge (a “cantilever” dental implant crown) using different materials. It may help show which material works best when replacing missing back teeth with implant support.
