Silicoating is effective in achieving high bond strength of bone cement on surfaces of oxide ceramics and can also stabilise the long term behaviour of the bond strength, provided the surface has been thermally treated prior to silicoating. Because of the proposed migration of the silicoating layer, micromotions and debonding should be widely reduced or even eliminated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
