Quantitative Analysis of Apatite Formation on Titanium and Zirconia in a Simulated Body Fluid Solution Using the Quartz Crystal Microbalance Method
The bone-bonding ability of a material is evaluated by examining apatite formation on its surface in simulated body fluid (SBF). Partially stabilized zirconia (ZrO2) is currently attractive as an alternative to titanium (Ti) implants; however, no quantitative analysis of apatite formation between Ti...
