Objectives To examine the effect of ultraviolet light (UV) treatment on the surface
characteristics of two acid-etched zirconia-based dental implant materials. Methods Discs of …

Unlike titanium, surface roughening of zirconia for enhanced bone integration has been
technically challenging. The photochemical reaction of semiconductor oxides, eg, titanium …

Zirconia is a superior implant material owing to its high mechanical strength, durable
corrosion resistance, superior aesthetic effect and excellent biocompatibility. However, the …

Background Zirconia has emerged as a versatile dental material due to its excellent
aesthetic outcomes such as color and opacity, unique mechanical properties that can mimic …

Objective: Improvements in the bioactivity of zirconia implants for accelerated healing and
reduced morbidity have been of continuing interest in the fields of dentistry and orthopedic …

Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment of implant surfaces has been demonstrated to enhance their
bioactivity significantly. This study examined the effect of UV treatment of different zirconia …

The use of zirconium oxide in dental implantology is rapidly increasing as it is regarded as
being more aesthetical and biologically friendly than titanium oxide. The interaction of …

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the surface morphology and elemental
composition of zirconia implants before and after photofunctionalization. Materials and …

Zirconia-based bioceramic is a potential material for dental implants developed and
introduced in dentistry 30 years ago. However, some limitations still exist for zirconia …
