Replacement of missing teeth with conventional implants made up of titanium is the most popular technique in implantology. To overcome the disadvantages of the conventional implant, immediate implantation technique is being developed. Also, in esthetically demanding areas, zirconia has shown excellent results as compared to titanium. Zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO2) shows excellent biocompatibility, biomechanical characteristics and also good osseointegration. Along with the properties mentioned above, there are also previous reports which show the successful use of zirconia as root-analog implants, which, reproduce the natural anatomy of the extracted tooth. This article presents a review of root analog zirconia dental implants as a novel immediate implantation material, which replaces the missing teeth. This could change the implant dentistry scenario in the future.
