1 Hydroxyapatite consolidated by zirconia: applications for dental implant https://jourcc.com/index.php/jourcc/article/view/jcc214 10.29252/jcc.2.1.4 20.1001.1.26765837.2020.2.2.4.2 1 Zirconia has garnered significant attention as a new ceramic material for dental implant due to its excellent biocompatibility, strength, and promoting the oral rehabilitation with high aesthetic, biological and mechanical properties. It also expedites the amelioration of bone minerals surface by its bio-integrative ingredients which are naturally close to ceramic intrinsic of bone. Alternatively, hydroxyapatite (HAp) has prevalently been used in dental implant due to its high biocompatibility. However, it generally shows weak strength and mechanical properties. Consequently, incorporating zirconia and HAp produces appropriate composites for dental implant having improved physiochemical properties. This review provides discussions addressing the methodologies and exemplars for the designed composites used in dental implant applications. The representative methods for surface modification of zirconia incorporating HAp (i.e. sol-gel, hot isostatic pressing, plasma spraying, electrophoretic deposition, etc.) is highlighted. The advantages, disadvantages, biocompatibility, strength, and osseointergration and biointegration properties of the presented composites are explored. 26 34 Fariborz Sharifianjazi Amirkabir University of Technology Iran info@jourcc.com Amir Hossein Pakseresht Alexander Dubcek University of Trencin Slovakia info@jourcc.com Mehdi Shahedi Asl University of Mohaghegh Ardabili Iran info@jourcc.com Amirhossein Esmaeilkhanian Amirkabir University of Technology Iran info@jourcc.com Hiva Nargesi khoramabadi Payame Noor University (PNU) Iran info@jourcc.com Ho Won Jang Seoul National University Republic of Korea info@jourcc.com Mohammadreza Shokouhimehr Seoul National University Republic of Korea mrsh2@snu.ac.kr Hydroxyapatite Zirconia Dental implants Biocompatibility Coating Ceramic composite Article4.pdf [1] G.
