Abstract

In an effective communication, teeth are significant parts of our body, which we need while giving confidence to the person with a smile that complements facial expressions. Studies have shown that the healthier they are, the more confident people become during any communication or conversation. However, healthy teeth can sometimes be exposed to deterioration and irreversible damage due to genetic and sometimes external factors. In such a case, dental fillings or root canal treatments for the teeth are no longer a solution for people. Therefore, dental implant, one of the most suitable solutions for teeth, has an important role today. However, the integration of the materials to be used in the dental implant with the teeth in the area where it is applied, as well as being able to cope with difficult situations such as oxidation, rusting and abrasion, should not cause harmful results for the human health. Titanium is one of the most frequently used materials among dental implant materials. In addition, tantalum, cobalt, porcelain, polymer and chrome are also used among dental implant materials. In this study, it was aimed to obtain results about which dental implant material is better. To obtain the results, SWARA and Gray Relational Analysis, which are among the Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods, were used in combination. While SWARA gives numerical results on which criteria are more important when choosing dental implant materials, Gray Relational Analysis method is utilized in the selection of the most suitable dental implant material in line with these results.
