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.

Surface roughness and hardness of yttria stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) after 10 years of simulated brushing

TL;DR: It was concluded that the brushing with distilled or fluoridated toothpaste was not able to change the roughness and hardness of Y-TZP zirconia used in this study.

A Ceramic‐Electrolyte Glucose Fuel Cell for Implantable Electronics

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate that ceramic electrolytes can be used in potentially implantable glucose fuel cells with unprecedented miniaturization and demonstrate that these fuel cells constitute the smallest potentially implantedable power sources to date and are viable options to power the next generation of highly miniaturized implantable medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture behavior, marginal gap width, and marginal quality of vented or pre-cemented CAD/CAM all-ceramic crowns luted on Y-TZP implants.

TL;DR: Crown venting of lithium disilicate and zirconium dioxide crowns did not affect the fracture load and patterns, and complete cement removal was rare, and the observed particle ablation requires further clinical attention, particularly with submucosal margins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological evaluation of partially stabilized zirconia added HA/HDPE composites with osteoblast and fibroblast cell lines.

TL;DR: The biocompatibility of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) added hydroxyapatite (HA)––high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites was evaluated by proliferation and cell attachment assays on two osteoblast cell lines and a type of fibroblast cell isolated from bone tissue namely HBF.

Recommendations of the international commission on radiological protection

R.M. Sievert, +1 more
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.

Science and Technology of Zirconia

TL;DR: A review of current understanding of zirconia-based ceramics can be found in this paper, where 76 papers comprise six sections including phase transformations and phase stability, mechanical aspects of transformation toughening, microstructural aspects of transformations, structural and other applications, electrolytic properties and applications, and processing.
