Roxolid implants are endosseous root form implants made of alloy comprising 85% Titanium and 15% Zirconium. This unique combination greatly improves the tensile and fatigue strengths of implants compared to the ones manufactured with commercially pure titanium and its alloys. The aim of the study was to assess the awareness about roxolid implants among dental students. This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional type of study comprising 100 dental college students in Chennai.
