Surface treatment of zirconium oxide implants through laser processing
Laser processing of zirconium oxide implants is a highly precise method that optimizes the microscopic structure of the implant surface. By selectively applying laser beams, the surface is modified to enhance roughness and topography, significantly promoting osseointegration, or the integration of the implant into the bone. This technique allows for controlled adjustments to surface properties without compromising the integrity of the zirconium oxide material, further increasing the biocompatibility and long-term stability of the implants, making them ideal for use in dental and medical technology.
BENEFITS OF THE PROCESS INCLUDE:
- Dimensional stability of zirconium components through gentle material removal
- No contamination of the implant surface (e.g., from corundum), verified by strict quality control in accredited laboratories
- Proven biocompatibility of the surface through clinical monitoring
SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Homogeneous surface structure
- Surface roughness (Sa): 1.2 μm +/- 0.5 μm
- Visual appearance: white
