Application of zirconium oxide in medicine; Again, the properties of this material are decisive The application of zirconium oxide is so wide that it may be considered difficult and impossible to even categorize and create boundaries between its various applications. In such a way that sometimes even while providing a specific application, it can be seen that this substance will be providing several other applications as well. For example, while the main purpose of using it is for medical purposes, at the same time, it is its abrasiveness or fire resistance that shows itself and strengthens the effectiveness of this material. But regardless of this particular complexity that is evident due to the wide application of zirconium oxide, we intend to focus on its medical applications in this note. Obviously, it is neither possible nor within the scope of the text to examine all these applications in detail. So, we will go to the most important cases of the use of zirconium oxide in medicine and on this basis, we will check why this substance is useful and useful in medicine. Stay with us until the end. Is the application of zirconium oxide significant in medicine? The use of zirconia or zirconium oxide in matters and issues related to the fields of medicine and treatment has been expanding rapidly and in recent decades we have seen its increasing popularity in this field. The fact is that the use of zirconium oxide in medicine is growing and intensifying for various reasons. Physical, biological and even aesthetic properties can be considered effective in this matter. For example, even its significant resistance to corrosion has made it useful in the field of treatment and medicine. Therefore, without condescension, it must be accepted that currently the use of zirconium oxide in medicine is very wide and common in itself, and this application is expanding and growing more. In such a way that every day more areas and more organs show their compatibility and association with zirconia in practice. As an example, we can mention two prominent and very famous cases. The application of zirconium oxide in the field of orthopedics One of the issues and topics that are so-called at the edge of medical science advancement today is the issue of orthopedic replacements and replacing joints, bones or the size of the components of the patient’s ossification system with external materials. For example, platinum, which is widely and quite commonly used in serious fractures, is an example of the same materials and materials that have the use of orthopedic replacement. The use of zirconium oxide is also interesting in this case. Bearing in mind the fact that it is based on zirconium oxide, it is a material with a very significant mechanical resistance and is also seriously resistant and strong against wear and tear, it can be said that it is an ideal option for orthopedic replacement of some organs and bones. For example, today doctors are seriously considering the possibility of using zirconium oxide in the construction and completion of hip bones. Although the same resistance of zirconium oxide against wear can be used in bone and other parts, one of the current debates is its use in hip ossification. Of course, it should be emphasized that this issue is still under investigation and according to some experts, the risk of sudden and catastrophic fractures is completely predictable if standard composites are not used. Anyway, the issue that should be mentioned is that one of the examples of the use of zirconium oxide in medicine is this discussion (Orthopedic Replacements). From the point of view of many dental experts, this is the best material for restoring and repairing teeth Application of zirconium oxide in dentistry But in dentistry, the use of zirconium oxide is more established and also much more common. Zirconia is used in dentistry to create internal implants, dental supports in order to stabilize the position of the implant and at the same time to create ceramic crowns. Ceramics based on zirconium oxide, which are some kind of compounds or mixtures of this material, have much more applications and show better characteristics. For example, yttrium-stabilized zirconia, which is remarkably chemically resistant, is a very ideal option for completing the veneer of artificial teeth or case implants. Do not forget that another strong point that has increased the use of zirconium oxide in medicine and dentistry is the same chemical resistance, which will increase with materials such as yttrium. Finally, it can be said that the increasing demand for dental restorations for the purpose of beauty and improving the appearance of the mouth and teeth has caused zirconium oxide-based ceramics to face a very high level of demand and acceptance. Medical engineering, in turn, tries to make the most of the properties of zirconium oxide Indirect application of zirconium oxide in medicine The use of zirconium oxide in medicine is not always direct. It should not be forgotten that this material is a very ideal option for making many electronic or mechanical parts because of the properties that have been mentioned many times before. Nevertheless, it can be said that its indirect application in medicine can also be seen through the effect on the productions and products of the field of medical engineering. Therefore, despite its use to complete the infrastructure, equipment, tools and devices related to health and treatment, its indirect applications in medicine should not be neglected.
