Journal ArticleDOI
Zirconia as a ceramic biomaterial
Corrado Piconi,Giulio Maccauro +1 more
TL;DR: This review takes into account the main results achieved up to now, and is focused on the role that microstructural characteristics play on the TZP ceramics behaviour in ball heads, namely mechanical properties and their stability, wear of the UHMWPE paired to TZp, and their influence on biocompatibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Y-TZP ceramics for artificial joint replacements
Corrado Piconi,W. Burger,H.G. Richter,A. Cittadini,Giulio Maccauro,Valeria Covacci,N. Bruzzese,G.A. Ricci,E. Marmo +8 more
TL;DR: Samples made out Yttria coated powders show lower strength degradation than samples made out coprecipitated powders, and UHMWPE discs coupled to Y-TZP rings made out coated powder do not show increase in wear after repeated sterilization cycles of the ceramic rings.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro evaluation of the mutagenic and carcinogenic power of high purity zirconia ceramic.
Valeria Covacci,N. Bruzzese,Giulio Maccauro,C. Andreassi,G.A. Ricci,Corrado Piconi,E. Marmo,W. Burger,Achille Cittadini +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ceramic from high purity powders can be considered suitable for biomedical applications from the point of view of the effects of its radioactive impurity content, and the mutagenic and transforming effects of Y-TZP ceramic are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alumina and zirconia ceramics in joint replacements
TL;DR: The experience and the feedbacks gathered in more than 30-year clinical use of alumina, and 15-year use of zirconia ceramics are reviewed, and the results of in vitro and in vivo studies on the biocompatibility and carcinogenicity are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of osteoblast-like cells on porous hydroxyapatite ceramics: an in vitro study
TL;DR: Blocks of two porous synthetic hydroxyapatites with porosity fraction of 30-40 and 50-60 vol%, respectively and a coralline derived porous HA were evaluated in vitro in presence of the osteogenic line MC3T3-E1 and of L929 fibroblasts and resulted perfectly biocompatible.
