Results suggest zirconia as a suitable material for frameworks in full-arch implant-supported rehabilitations. Both groups presented a low incidence of technical complications. When comparing the two different designs, the MZ group presented a lower technical complication rate, thus presenting itself as a viable alternative for full-arch implant-supported rehabilitations. Further clinical studies with longer follow-ups (5 years) should be performed to evaluate the long-term stability of such rehabilitations.
