Zirconia as a Dental Biomaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ceramics are very important in the science of dental biomaterials. Among all dental ceramics, zirconia is in evidence as a dental biomaterial and it is the material of choice in contemporary restorative dentistry. Zirconia has been applied as structural material for dental bridges, crowns, inserts, and implants, mostly because of its biocompatibility, high fracture toughness, and radiopacity. However, the clinical success of restorative dentistry has to consider the adhesion to different substrates, which has offered a great challenge to dental zirconia research and development. This study characterizes zirconia as a dental biomaterial, presenting the current consensus and challenges to its dental applications.

متن کاملOsseointegration of zirconia implants compared with titanium: an in vivo study
BACKGROUND Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for fabrication of dental implants. Since the material composition and the surface topography of a biomaterial play a fundamental role in osseointegration, various chemical and physical surface modifications have been developed to improve osseous healing. Zirconia-based implants were introduced into dental implantology as an alternative to...
متن کاملShear Bond Strength of Porcelain Veneering to Nickel-Chromium, Chromium-Cobalt, Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate
Background and Aim: High chipping rates of the veneering porcelain in zirconia ce-ramic restorations have been reported in many clinical studies. However, information on the bonding behavior of veneering porcelain to zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond-ing strength of porcelain veneering to zirconia, lithium disilicate, nicke...

متن کاملThe Effect of Rotation Speed and Time of Milling on Synthesis and Properties of Fluoridated Hydroxyapatite Biomaterial
Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) is the most helpful because of its similarity to natural bone in both crystalline structure and chemical composition. Recently, fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA) has been developed in dental and orthopedic application because it has lower solubility than pure HA, while maintaining the comparable bioactivity and biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to...
