A dental screw made entirely of oxide ceramic. Titanium in its metal state can fracture. Seen a failure in a hip stem from fracture of the titanium causing the hip stem to crack into two pieces. Knowing this can we really say titanium has less potential to fracture then a ceramic screw? Seems like a logical fallacy. We hear "metal" and expect it to bend or at least not fracture. Fun fact Calcium is a metal. The calcium in our bones is the oxidized version.

So you can. Not saying it will outperform in load bearing of teeth without fracture but I wouldn't make any conclusion on performance without testing, watching titanium fracture.

Zimmers trabecular metal. I think this one had some recalls, but I like the porous design. It has potential for jaw bone incorporation in my opinion. With the proper materials I'd hope to see enough incorporation into the organism to mitigate loosening and receding bone.
