Background: The increased use of dental implants in oral rehabilitation has been followed
by the development of new biomaterials as well as improvements in the performance of …

Zirconia have been applied to dental implants as well as fixed dental prostheses due to their
mechanical, esthetic and biocompatible performance. Moreover, they offer an advantage …

Surface properties play a critical role in influencing cell responses to a biomaterial. The
objectives of this study were (1) to characterize changes in surface properties of zirconia …

The development of zirconia dental implants has become increasingly popular over the last
years due to the outstanding mechanical properties, superior aesthetic appearance and …

Rough surfaces have been shown to promote osseointegration, which is one of the keys for
a successful dental implantation. Among the diverse treatments proposed to roughen …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the behavior of human
osteoblasts and human gingival fibroblasts in contact with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) …

Implantable biomaterials are increasingly important in the practice of modern medicine,
including fixative, replacement, and regeneration therapies, for reconstruction of hard …

The purpose of this study was to elucidate behavior of human mesenchymal stem cells
(hMSCs) on yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP) and commercial pure …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical and histological behavior of a
ceria-stabilized zirconia–alumina nanocomposite (NanoZr) in comparison with that of 3 …

Objectives To measure the lateral surface area of microgrooved zirconia implants, to
evaluate the cell geometry and cell density of human fetal osteoblasts seeded on zirconia …
