[QUOTE="lcmlabforum, post: 69838, member: 3238"] Most zirconia have to be stabilized by yttrium, etc. Not sure how 'natural' that makes it. On the periodic table, zirconium, the element, not zirconium oxide (aka zirconia) is a transitional metal. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium]Zirconium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] There is a lot of 'hype' on the web about metals being toxic to your body. There is a difference between elemental metal to compounds. Our body is filled with plenty of metal compound, aka salts, like NaCl and K (potassium) that keeps us alive and functional. I agree, but in that case, the patient actually was given a Straumann disk of their titanium to be tested, including PMMA, etc. They did not have a disk sample of their Roxolid or Ti-zirconia product at that time. Finally ended up with high noble gold (Au-Cu) RPD instead and happily paid for it. There is research showing integration of cells to Zirconia implant, again, not as extensively documented unlike conventional titanium or to the passivated oxide layer of various forms of CP (commercially pure) titanium.
