Abstract

Zirconia (ZrO₂) ceramic is widely used in dentistry as a clinical dental biomaterial. In this review, we are focusing on and summarizing the biological performance of zirconia under different surface characteristics. We have included an initial tissue cell attachment study on zirconia and bacterial adhesion on zirconia. Our results suggest that surface modifications applied on zirconia may change the interfacial surface characteristics e.g. surface roughness, surface free energy, and chemistry of zirconia. The modifications also result in advanced biological performance of zirconia, including enhanced tissue cell attachment and reduction of bacterial adhesion. The recent laboratory research has provided many interesting modification methods and showed clinically interesting and promising outcomes. A few of the outcomes are validated and have been applied in clinical dentistry.
