[Development of modified zirconia based dental material].

Ceramic materials are increasingly used in dentistry, because of their excellent biocompatibility. Zirconia based ceramic is unique among others due to its high flexural strength. This study examined physical and mechanical properties, as well as toxic and sanitary-chemical characteristics of zirconia based ceramics to select optimum compositions, in comply with the relevant requirements for medical consumables, particularly with materials for all-ceramic frameworks.
