BACKGROUND
Zirconia might be an alternative material to titanium for dental implant fabrication. The aim of the present study was to investigate the histological behavior (osseointegration) of loaded… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Titanium is the standard material for dental and orthopaedical implants. The good biocompatibility has been proven in many experimental and clinical investigations. Different titanium… (More)
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed at evaluating the integration of zirconia implants in a rat femur model.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Zirconia implants with two distinct surface topographies were compared with… (More)
OBJECTIVE
This study examined the in vitro and in vivo response of osteoblasts to a novel, acid-etched and sandblasted zirconia surface.
METHODS
Osteoblastic hFOB 1.19 cells were cultured either on… (More)
The osteoblastic cell-line hFOB 1.19 with the potential to proliferate and differentiate revealed that cellular differentiation is not affected by material and roughness on newly developed zirconia… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Outstanding mechanical properties, resistance to scratching and high biocompatibility make zirconia/alumina ceramics interesting for dental applications. To solve the problem of the… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Because of its inherent strength, biocompatibility, and tooth-like color, zirconia ceramics have the potential to become an alternative to titanium as dental implant material. This study… (More)
Distinguishing features of biological constructions are high stability and adaptation to their environment. Beside biocompatibility, nontoxicity and degradability these characteristics are demanded… (More)

PURPOSE
Augmentation of the sinus floor with autogenous bone often requires an extra donor site, which is associated with a risk of morbidity, and current grafting protocols involve healing times of… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) is more fracture resistant than unmodified zirconia and has been shown to be a viable substrate for the growth of osteoblasts. In this study, we examined… (More)
