Highly bioactive glass coatings were successfully achieved by applying a newly developed
bioactive glass layer having a low Ca/P ratio on a ZrO 2-3% Y 2 O 3 ceramic substrate. The …

ZrO2 and Al2O3 substrates were successfully coated by a double layer of a silica-based
glass named RKKP, using a low-cost firing technique. RKKP is a glass well known for its …

Dense and ultrafine alumina–zirconia composites (Al2O3–16wt% ZrO2 and ZrO2–20wt%
Al2O3) are developed and characterized for load bearing prosthetic applications. The …

In order to combine the mechanical properties of a high-strength inert ceramic (yttria-
stabilised zirconia, ZrO2–3% Y2O3, defined as zirconia in the text) with the specific …

An in vitro evaluation of a biomedical device, which combines the mechanical properties of
zirconia substrates with the bioactivity of two different glass layers (AP40 and RKKP), was …

This paper reports on synthesis and characterization (sintering, crystallization,

The healing time of zirconia implants may be reduced by the use of bioactive glass coatings.
Unfortunately, existing glasses are either bioactive like Bioglass 45S5 but thermally …

Achieving the stable osteointegration of prosthetic implants is one of the great challenges of
modern orthopedic surgery. The fixation of ceramic acetabular cups of hip joint prostheses is …

In order to the preparation of biodegradable, bioactive and strongly adhered coating layer to
the bioinert zirconia substrate, a bioactive glass (BG) was successfully coated on the …

Nowadays zirconia, due to its interesting properties eg biocompatibility, strength, aesthetic,
chemical and mechanical properties, has got lots of attention for dental implants. On the …
