Alumina Ceramic For Dental Applications: A Review Article., Ahmed A. Madfa Apr 2014

Alumina Ceramic For Dental Applications: A Review Article., Ahmed A. Madfa

Ahmed A. Madfa

Alumina has received considerable attention and has been historically wellaccepted as biomaterials for dental and medical applications. This article reviews the applications of this material in dentistry. It presents a brief history, dental applications and methods for improving the mechanical properties of aluminabased materials. It also offers perspectives on recent research aimed at the further development of alumina for clinical uses, at their evaluation and selection, and very importantly, their clinical performance. This article also stated about the Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) which has been conceived as a new material design approach to improve performance compared to traditional homogeneous and …
