| Abstract Scope |
A form of dental ceramic known as nano zirconia (Zr NPs) or Nano-ZrO2 has recently made great strides in the world of dental care thanks to its remarkable biocompatibility, optical, biological, superior mechanical, and stable structure. The availability of metal-free alternatives is one of the most crucial criteria for dental materials. Zirconia is frequently utilized for dental applications since many regularly used metal alloys have undesirable colors and chemical interactions in the mouth cavity. Zr or ZrO2 NPs-based ceramics have garnered a lot of interest in place of conventional biomaterials because of their higher corrosion resistance, better color matching that enhances aesthetics, and increased strength. As a result, this review offers a summary of recent studies on Zr NPs or Nano-ZrO2 applications in dentistry as well as the potential of the surfaces of dental implants in the future. |
