Objective: The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether there were clinically relevant differences in the treatment of edentulous areas comparing zirconia (Zr) and titanium (Ti) dental implants. The null hypothesis is that no differences can be observed in terms of the clinical parameters; the positive hypothesis I is that Zr implants have generally better results compared to Ti im...

Consequently, the use of zirconia implants is being promoted. Despite titanium remaining the gold standard, there are clinical situations that require a different approach. This systematic rev...
