Traditionally the material of choice for dental implants has been titanium. The success of such material has been unquestionable for the last decades. However a number of issues arise lately regarding the biocompatibility or cytotoxicity or allergies regarding the degradation or oxidation particles within the bone or gum. Esthetics has been a concern as well specially in patients with thin biotype where the metal may produce a grayish look of the mucosa. For this reason the dental community and patients have raised much interest in ceramic dental implants as a tooth colored and metal free alternative for dental implants.~Since 2006 CeraRoot ceramic implants have been available in the market.~The reason for designing this PMCF is to evaluate the long term success of CeraRoot ceramic implants~To achieve those objectives an observational study of patients that have received such implant is designed, using marginal bone loss as a primary response variable. It is estimated that a sample size 200 patients over the 5 year period is needed to achieve relevant data.
The main objective is to evaluate the success / failure rate of CeraRoot ceramic implants (one piece) during five year follow up.
