Correct answer: A. It does not corrode and is metal-free (no galvanic/corrosion concern)
Zirconia implants are metal-free and resist corrosion/galvanic effects, an advantage for patients concerned about metals, in addition to their tooth-colored esthetics.Other options: Faster universal integration and being unbreakable are overstatements; all implants require maintenance.Key exam takeaway: Zirconia implants: metal-free, corrosion-resistant, esthetic; titanium remains the long-term gold standard.
