Stress Analysis Around Reduced-Diameter Zirconia and Titanium One-Piece Implants With and Without Microthreads in the Neck: Experimental and Finite Element Analysis.

CONCLUSION: Stresses within the peri-implant cortical bone around the reduced-diameter implant with microthreads appeared to be superior compared with the smooth-neck one. Reduced-diameter zirconia implants induced less stress on bone in comparison with the titanium implants, suggesting that zirconia is a feasible alternative for titanium.
