Given their highly porous nature and excellent water retention, hydrogel‐based biomaterials
can mimic critical properties of the native cellular environment. However, their potential to …

Non-silicate ceramics, especially zirconia, have become a topic of great interest in the field
of prosthetic and implant dentistry. A clinical problem with use of zirconia-based components …

Some ceramics, such as Bioglass®, sintered hydroxyapatite, and glass-ceramic AW,
spontaneously bond to living bone. They are called bioactive materials and are already …

Surface functionalization has become of paramount importance and is considered a
fundamental tool for the development and design of countless devices and engineered …

Various types of zirconia are widely used for the fabrication of dental implant superstructures
and fixtures. Zirconia–alumina composites, such as ATZ and NanoZR, are adequate for …

Aseptic loosening and periprosthetic infections are complications that can occur at the
interface between inert ceramic implants and natural body tissues. Therefore, the need for …

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to provide an overview of zirconia implants as well
as regarding the outcome of the implant-restorative complex in preclinical studies. Study …

Mechanical properties and slow crack growth (SCG) behavior of a 10Ce-TZP/Al2O3
nanocomposite currently developed as a biomaterial are considered. Fracture toughness is …

Bioactivity a property displayed by ceramics such as Bioglass®, hydroxyapatite and glass-
ceramic A–W is a surface property, which provides a chemical integration of synthetic …

Bioinert zirconia surfaces exhibit a low chemical bonding potential to resin‐based luting
agents. The aim was to hydroxylate dental zirconia surfaces and to examine tensile bond …
