The aim of this perspective is to present an overview of the different types of ceramics available for medical applications focused mainly on bioactive glasses.
White to ivory colour gives a clear advantage for oxide ceramics versus metals which is the reason why research and development are nowadays directed towards metal free dental prosthetic restorations.
The first proposal to use.
The medical sector benefits from many properties of ceramics such as inertness non toxicity hardness high compressive strength low friction coefficient wear and chemical resistance sterile nature ability to be manufactured with various degrees of porosity very good aesthetics and durability.
It is now popular in the field of medical hard tissue repaired because of its dense texture abrasion resistance smooth surface good biocompatibility and chemical stability.
Dental applications add aesthetic requirements colour translucency to the mechanical specifications.
This material has superb material characteristics such as high electrical insulation high mechanical strength high wear and chemical resistance.
