Zirconium as a material is considered the best for peri-implant soft tissues. However, it's evident that it must be treated in special manner - to be polished enough. So the polishing of the material allows adhesion of the epithelium cells, which provides the protection. It's important not to make "Zr without Zr" restorations, when veneering porcelain covers Zr and does not allow the direct contact between soft tissues and zirconium. In that way the biocompatibility effect might be reduced... Although veneering materials do not have direct influence on crestal bone stability, nevertheless, it is important to select appropriately. Not only biological, but also technical requirements are important as well. A special technique, which combines Zr and E-max will be presented, where Zr stands for soft tissue condition and monolithic ceramics for strength...
