Description
Summary:The current trend for prosthetic devices is the application of ceramic coatings on supports of different nature (i.e. more similar to bone mechanically) for an improved functional performance. The research activity reported is devoted to biocompatible ceramics coatings such as ceramic-vitreous systems to obtain surfaces capable of self-anchoring to bone tissue. Because hydroxyapatite coatings often achieve scarce reliability as mechanical performances, in particular on zirconia substrates, the aim of a planned study is to coat full density alumina and zirconia substrates with a bioactive calcium-fluoro-phosphate glass. (Substrate: yttria stabilized (3%) zirconia.)
