Single tooth implants are used for the restoration of missing one or more tooth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth that is fixed into the jaw bone in order to replace the missing teeth. Dental implants can either be made up of titanium or zirconium. Among these two types of implants as compared to zirconium implants, titanium implants accounts for the larger share of the market. This is due to its high strength, bone density and compatibility with body fluids; it is a metal of choice across the global dental consumables market.

Zirconia dental implants are made of metal oxide and are used for manufacturing implants for years due to its biotechnical characteristics which allow the manufacturing of a biocompatible tooth. Only a few zirconium dental implants are available in the market currently as zirconium implants contain certain radioactive isotopes which can cause oral cancer. A dental bridge is used for the restoration of missing tooth by joining an artificial permanent tooth to the adjacent dental implant or the teeth. These are also called as false teeth which can be made of alloy, gold, porcelain or combination of these materials. These bridges are helpful in maintaining the shape of face or prevent the drifting of remaining teeth from their position.
