Aim: This article aims to provide a concise review of the material aspects, unique properties, surface modifications, clinical considerations, and the future prospects of bioceramics in implantology. Background: Titanium-based implant systems have long been the go-to solution for rehabilitating edentulous spaces due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, these implant systems are not without their drawbacks, and several inherent flaws have been identified over time, namely hypersensitivity reactions, gray hue, etc., leading to the exploration of alternative materials. Due to these concerns, there has been an increasing demand for more esthetically pleasing and tissue-compatible materials for implant fabrication. Zirconia has emerged as a promising alternative to titanium-based implant systems due to its superior biological, esthetic, mechanical, and optical properties. Results: Zirconia has emerged as a promising alternative to titanium-based implant systems for oral rehabilitation due to its improved biocompatibility, superior esthetics, mechanical strength, optical properties, and reduced plaque accumulation. However, despite their significant progress in modern healthcare, the full potential of ceramics as biomaterials has yet to be fully realized. Conclusion: Ongoing research focusing on the chemistry, composition, and structure aims to further enhance the mechanical integration of ceramics and develop appropriate surface characteristics that improve stability and surface coatings to enhance cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. These advancements are expected to pave the way for ceramics to become the primary material of choice in implantology in the near future. Clinical significance: Zirconia ceramics have emerged as the preferred material for clinical dental applications, particularly for posterior crowns and fixed bridges, thanks to their impressive mechanical properties, ability to withstand high temperatures, biocompatibility, low thermal conductivity, and esthetic advantages. As dental technology progresses, zirconia ceramics are expected to maintain their prominence in dental restorations, offering patients durable, visually pleasing, and biologically safe solutions for their oral health requirements.
