Development of Zirconia as a Biomaterial

The aim of the project is to develop the composition of prefab-ricated zirconia ceramics blanks used for machining restora-tions and the manufacturing techniques in order to minimize any negative effects on the zirconia ceramics.

Chemical stability of biomaterials and biological impact

The interactions between dental biomaterials and the surrounding environments have been studied through a large number of combinations. This research area is continues explored as well as the effect of released corrosion products on biological activity.
