TLDR
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.

A testing protocol combining shocks, hydrothermal ageing and friction, applied to Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) hip implants.

TL;DR: A procedure that combines sequences of shocks, hydrothermal ageing in an autoclave and friction on hip-walking simulator is developed to investigate their combined effects on Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) implants, and results confirm that shocks can be considered as the key phenomenon causing wear.

Resin bonding of metal brackets to glazed zirconia with a porcelain primer.

TL;DR: Porcelain primer is the more appropriate choice for bonding a metal bracket to the surface of a full-contour glazed zirconia crown with resin cement.

Low temperature degradation of Al2O3-doped 3Y-TZP sintered at various temperatures

TL;DR: The low temperature degradation of Al2O3-doped 3Y-TZP sintered at 1400-1600°C was investigated by aging at 140°C for various hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture resistance of implant-supported screw-retained zirconia-based molar restorations.

TL;DR: Investigation of fracture loads of screw-retained zirconia-based molar restorations (hybrid abutment crown) fabricated with different restorative materials and designs found all restoration withstood the masticatory forces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sintering, microstrusture and hardness of different alumina–zirconia composites

TL;DR: Pulgarin et al. as discussed by the authors presented the Centro de Tecnologia de Recursos Minerales and Ceramica (CTE-CERAMICA).

TL;DR: Recommendations are presented which represent concepts and practices evolved from recent discussions at formal and informal meetings of the Commission and its Committees.
Book

Phase diagrams for ceramists

TL;DR: One of the popular books now is the phase diagrams for ceramists as discussed by the authors. You may be confused because you can't find the book in the book store around your city. And when you have found the store to buy the book, it will be so hurt when you run out of it.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of subchondral bone in the initiation and progression of cartilage damage.

TL;DR: In certain models of osteoarthrosis, alterations of the bony bed occur before the cartilage changes and suggest that this can occur in clinical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of femoral head size on wear of the polyethylene acetabular component.

TL;DR: The amounts of resorption of the proximal part of the femoral neck and of lysis of the distal part ofthe femur both correlated positively with the extent of linear and volumetric wear; this suggests an association between the amount of debris from wear and these changes in the Femoral Neck and proximal parts of the Femur.
