Overcoming the Biomechanical Limitations of Titanium–Zirconia Dental Implants: Rationale for a Novel Ti-PEEK-Zr Tri-Layered Concept

Background: The clinical success of modern dental implants requires a balance between mechanical endurance and aesthetic integration. While titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) provides a reliable load-bearing core, yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) is frequently preferred for...
