研究目的
The development of new surface designs to enhance the integration process between surgically placed implants and biological tissues remains a challenge for the scientific community. This study explores laser technology to produce novel textures on the surface of green zirconia compacts to assess their influence on geometry and depth of created textures, surface wettability, friction performance against bone, aging resistance, and flexural strength.
研究成果
Laser technology is an effective method to produce different and complex textured zirconia surfaces under green state without compromising zirconia mechanical performance. The laser parameters and strategies have a great influence on geometrical definition and depth of created textures. The produced textures enhance surface wettability and improve fixation at the initial moment of implantation, without significantly compromising the resistance to aging and the mechanical performance of zirconia.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term in vivo performance of the laser-textured zirconia implants. Additionally, the influence of laser texturing on the biological response of the implants is not fully explored.
