Bioactive Glass Coated Zirconia for Dental Implants: a review

Abstract

Nowadays, zirconia has got extensive attention for dental implants, although it has disadvantages such as poor mechanical properties and brittleness that makes it unsuitable. On the other hand, bioactive glasses coating have been utilized on tougher substrates such as zirconia. Bioactive glass coatings can decrease the healing time and hence accelerate the formation of the bond between bone and implant. Hence in this study, we introduce the novel zirconia/bioactive glass composites with high mechanical strength and bioactivity to achieve the ideal implant dentistry. Furthermore, a review of bioactive glass coatings (i.e., 45S5 and 58S) on zirconia as well as surface modification methods (i.e., sol-gel, laser cladding, plasma spraying, etc.) is provided.

Sol-gel: Uncomplicated, routine and affordable synthesis procedure for utilization of composites in drug delivery: Review

“…Because of these desirable morphological features, in some uses, like drug delivery, BGN has significant benefits over its micron-sized counterparts. In general, BGNs are a good foundation for composites, as their morphological properties make their uniform integration into polymer matrices much simple [126,127]. In addition, the use of structure-forming agents allows complicated morphologies including hollow or mesoporous structures to be accomplished by BGN.…”

Zirconia Based Dental Biomaterials: Structure, Mechanical Properties, Biocompatibility, Surface Modification, and Applications as Implant

“…Porous zirconia scaffolds can also be used as drug delivery carriers to enhance bone response. Biological responses to dental implants are determined by several physical and chemical characteristics of the implant surface, including mechanical and physicochemical properties (44). ZrO 2 coating can induce the accumulation of apatite in the simulated body fluids, which can promote the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts.…”

Influence of MXene Particles with a Stacked-Lamellar Structure on Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

“…Bioceramics are very useful in hard-tissue engineering and have structural stability and superior biocompatibility [ 1 ]. Traditional industrial oxides, such as zirconia, alumina, and titanium oxide, have been applied biologically when new biological properties have been discovered [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”
