Influence of UV irradiation and cold atmospheric pressure plasma on zirconia surfaces: an in vitro study.

CONCLUSION: In vitro, surface treatment by UV irradiation or CAP causes a significant reduction of organic material, increases the hydrophilicity of zirconia, and improves the conditions for osteoblasts. Results stipulate that treatment of zirconia surfaces with oxygen plasma may favor cell proliferation. PMID: 30521659 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
