The aim of this study was to deyelop a noyel hydroxyapatite (HA) coating method on zirconia using glass coating technique. A borosi)icate glass, the mixture of the glass ttnd HA (3e, 50, 70, and 90 mass%), and the 100% HA were coated on two kinds of zirconia discs and fired at 900-950'C. After the final coating, the surface of the sample was etched for 3 min in an acid-mixture of 3% HF and 5%HN...

The effect of zirconia surface treatment by mesoporous zirconia coating on the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) between zirconia and resin cement was investigated in this work. 160 zirconia specimens were prepared and divided into four groups according to surface treatments: (1) airborne-particle-abrasion treatment (APA); (2) glass infiltration and hydrofluoric acid treatment (GI+HF); (3) meso...

Functionally graded NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying using mechanically alloyed, plasma-spheroidized NiCoCrAlY/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite powders. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis revealed that oxidation of aluminum, chromium and yttrium in the NiCoCrAlY alloy occurred in th...

PURPOSE Although several surface treatments have been recently investigated both under in vitro and in vivo conditions, controversy still exists regarding the selection of the most appropriate zirconia surface pre-treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of alumina (Al) and aluminium nitride (AlN) coating on the shear bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia cor...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

PURPOSE This study was performed to characterize the effects of zirconia coated with calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite compared to smooth zirconia after bone marrow-derived osteoblast culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured on (1) smooth zirconia, (2) zirconia coated with calcium phosphate (CaP), and (3) zirconia coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). The tet...

The thermoluminescence (TL) after excitation by UV or X-rays radiation of doped α-alumina powders is investigated. In the case of zirconia, the alumina-zirconia composites present five of the characteristic peaks of zirconia at –170, –145, –90, 0 and 95°C. After a thermal treatment of mixed oxides, a new peak is observed at –35°C in TL. This peak reveals the presence of stabilized tetragonal zi...

Dental ceramic implants have shown superior esthetic behavior and the absence of induced allergic disorders when compared to titanium implants. Zirconia may become a potential candidate to be used as an alternative to titanium dental implants if surface modifications are introduced. In this work, bioactive micropatterned silica coatings were produced on zirconia substrates, using a combined met...
