Are there implants or other kinds of biomaterials, which were fabricated using microwave-sintered ceria-based materials?
Microwave radiation can be used to heat SiC used in a refractory die, controlling the internal and external cooling of a crown or fixed prosthesis, resulting in a tempered ceramic structure. See:
Karen Joan Thompson, Surface Tempering of Dental Ceramics by Internal Heating Using Microwave Energy, Master of Science in Engineering thesis, Speed Scientific School, Chemical Engineering, University of Louisville, 2000. Lawrence Gettleman, [email protected]
Yes many Biomaterials can fabricate using this method like:-
CeO₂-ZrO₂ Composites** (J. Eur. Ceram. Soc., 2021) – Microwave-sintered for **high-strength dental implants**.
- **CeO₂-HA Scaffolds** (Mater. Sci. Eng. C, 2020) – Enhanced **osteoblast adhesion** vs. pure HA.
- **Antioxidant Coatings** (ACS Biomater. Sci. Eng., 2022) – CeO₂ nanoparticles on Ti-implants reduce inflammation.
Lawrence Gettleman Thank you for the inputs, sir
And you as well madam Sara H. Shahatha
