There has been much discussion on various prosthetic materials used for dental implants. Various attempts have been made to develop esthetic implants that positively affect occlusion and do not damage the gingiva.

Hybrid ceramics have the advantage of wearing down like natural teeth;however, they easily discolor and irritate the gingiva. Moreover, ceramic materials trade off their esthetic appeal for strength. Zirconia is debatable in occlusion because it is strong.

We report a case where we combined materials to produce a suitable one with favorable outcome using an implant superstructure.

In this case, we tried to reduce the risk of occlusion and damage to surrounding tissues by fixing a crown made of hybrid ceramic to a zirconia frame.

Although a 5-year observation period is short, the outcome was favorable.

Long-term follow-up and large-scale studies are necessary, but the high level of patient satisfaction and the stability of occlusion and periodontal tissues suggest that this method is useful.
