Implant-supported dental prosthetics are widely used in dental practice. Sufficient peri-
implant bone tissue is a crucial prerequisite for the long-term success of this treatment, as …

We made nanocomposites with different amounts of hydroxyapatite (HA), cordierite (Cord),
and zirconia (ZrO2), then sinterized them and studied them using X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

The history of biomaterials started with gold and ivory, when these materials were used by
the Egyptians and Romans before the twentieth century. Biomaterial is defined as any non …

This study aims to determine the effect of adding 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) in
hydroxyapatite (HA) and sintering HA/3YSZ nanocomposites under nitrogen gas on HA …

Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic pathogen that can be found
in the oral cavity and other parts of the body. This species is the main cause of oral …

Biomaterials are widely used in many kinds of medical devices. The biomaterials used can
be metal, polymer, ceramic or composites. Bioadhesion will be occured when the medical …

Synthetic hydroxyapatite has been attractive ceramic for a decade as main material of
bonegraft. However, in powder form it was difficult to shape into certain geometry due to its …

Background: Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis), an oral commensal bacterium, is often
implicated in infective endocarditis. Its adherence to the tooth surface is the initial step in …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a biomaterial with excellent biocompatibility. However, the brittleness
and low fracture toughness of HA have limited its biomedical applications. As such, HA has …

This study aims to determine the effect of adding 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) in
hydroxyapatite (HA) and sintering HA/3YSZ nanocomposites under nitrogen gas on HA …
