recent progress in application of zirconium oxide in dentistry

Numerous compounds with a variety of properties are used in dentistry for diverse purposes. alumina, zirconia, lithium disilicate, silica, and zirconia are the finest materials for dental work. for several reasons, zirconia-based materials are now one of the most challenging research topics. zirconia, sometimes called ceramic steel or zirconium oxide, is used in dentistry owing to its excellent properties, robust resistance to erosive forces, low cost, high biocompatibility, and leathery texture. in addition, the mechanical properties of zr-based bulk metal complexes are essential for usage as dental implant materials. over the last several years, zirconia nanoparticles (zrnp) have made remarkable advancements in dentistry. zrnp may significantly enhance the bionic and mechanical characteristics of dental ceramics and tissue engineering scaffolds. this review examined various aspects of zro2 particles and their applications in dentistry and medicine.
