Investigation of the in vitro Bioactivity and Flexural Strength of sol-gel derived Dental Ceramics

摘要

The modification of dental ceramics with bioactive glasses has already resulted in the fabrication of dental ceramics/bioactive glass composites able to elicit bioactive behavior. However, apart from a good bioactive behavior, ceramic materials for dental applications should attain good mechanical properties. The aim of the present work was the fabrication of sol-gel derived bioactive dental ceramics and the investigation of their flexural strength.
