Abstract:Ceramic biomaterials have been largely applied as a means for replacement and / or repair of biological tissue such as orthopedic and dental implants, grafts, among others, because they have similarity shown with bone tissue, chemical stability, high hardness and wear resistance. Among these, we highlight the zirconia, for possessing biocompatibility without mutagenic effects, bacterial adhesion and better periointegration. The development of a porous zirconia aims to enhance the biological properties of this … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
