Adsorption of oral antibacterial agents on zirconia surfaces with different crystal systems.

ABSTRACT: Zirconia ceramics are widely used as dental prosthetics owing to their high biocompatibility, excellent mechanical strength, and aesthetic properties similar to color tones of natural teeth. However, there exists a growing demand for the facile attachment of antibacterial properties in long-term dental restoration. Thus, in this study, we evaluated the adsorption ability of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and benzalkonium chloride (BKC)-quaternary amines widely used as antibacterial substances in commercial toothpaste and other oral care products-onto zirconia surfaces with tetragonal and monoclinic crystal structures. Although tetragonal zirconia has been widely used in dental prosthetic materials such as crowns etc., monoclinic zirconia has also been used under oral conditions beca
