on Ceramics

Ceramic-based implants, such as aluminum oxide and especially zirconium oxide, have shown great promise as an alternative to metal implants. Ceramic and zirconia-based implants offer several advantages as high resistance to wear, fractures and corrosion. Furthermore, the bonelike color of ceramic-based implants renders them highly attractive for specific aesthetic demands. The downside with ceramics is their low response to bone cell growth compared to titanium. HA^nano Surface has excellent compatibility with ceramic surfaces. Presence of HA^nano Surface has proven to increase bone growth on ceramic implants and thereby accelerate osseointegration and improve the anchoring strength of the implant. With the HA^nano surface, it is possible to transform the surface of ceramic implants from bioinert to osteoconductive.
