Advanced bioceramics have played integral roles in treatment modalities for damaged or
diseased human joints and osseous defects. This paper reviews the uses and properties of …

Background Clinical failure of dental ceramics is usually reported as partial fracture of the
restoration (chipping) or as catastrophic fracture of the whole structure. In contrast to metals …

High strength and translucency are generally not coincident in one restorative material and
there is still a continuous development for a better balance between these two properties …

Zirconia ceramics have found broad applications in a variety of energy and biomedical
applications because of their unusual combination of strength, fracture toughness, ionic …

Objective This study investigated the effect of sintering temperatures on flexural strength,
contrast ratio, and grain size of zirconia. Materials and Methods Zirconia specimens …

Comprehensive Biomaterials brings together the myriad facets of biomaterials into one,
major series of six edited volumes that would cover the field of biomaterials in a major …

Mono-phase bio-ceramics (alumina and zirconia) are widely used as femoral heads in total
hip replacements (THR) as an alternative to metal devices. Unfortunately, the orthopaedic …

The mechanical properties of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics depend on various factors, a
prominent one being their microstructure. The aim of this review article is to elucidate the …

Objective. This study tested whether the two-body wear of monolithic zirconia and their
corresponding enamel antagonists was higher compared to monolithic alloy and veneered …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to examine the influence of the pre-
cementation surface modification techniques, namely alumina abrasion and surface …
