Abstract:
The research was focused on alternative treatment techniques, separating immediate and long-term reconstruction stages. The work involved development of ceramic materials dedicated to reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint area. They were based on alumina (aluminum oxide) and characterized by varying porosities. A broad spectrum of studies was conducted to test the proposed material and determine its suitability for mandibular reconstruction. They compared the effects of substrate properties of ceramic materials in terms of biocompatibility, microbiology and systemic toxicity in in vivo studies. Finally it was concluded that Alumina LithaLox 350D is best suited for jawbone implants.
