Outcomes

Reference

ZrO2/SiO2

-

In vitro

MG63

50wt% zirconia powder group showed the best proliferation.

[62]

PCL/ZrO2

-

In vitro

MC3T3

The PCL/ZrO2 composite scaffold group showed better cell adhesion, proliferation and growth and showed better ALP activity and accommodated more effective bone mineralization.

[63]

BCP/ZrO2

-

In vitro

MG63 hMSCs

BCP/ZrO2 scaffold had a good biocompatible property on proliferation of MG63 cells and promoted osteogenic differentiation.

[64]

HAP/ZrO2

-

In vitro

mBMSCs

Stem cells adhered, grew, and proliferated on HAP/ZrO2. HAP/ZrO2 ceramics had good porosity, high surface roughness, and are easy for cells to climb.

[65]

ZrO2/CS

-

In vitro

MC3T3-E1

Scaffolds doped with more CS possessed better biological activity and were more beneficial to MC3T3-E1 cells proliferation and differentiation.

[66]

ZrO2/RGO/HA

-

In vitro

AD-MSCs

HA and GO had a more beneficial presence to reduce cytotoxicity than individual presence.

[67]

ZrO2

Zn-HA/glass

In vitro

DPCs

The composite constructs exhibited superior cell-adhesion, distribution, and osteogenic differentiation ability.

[68]

ZrO2

HA/CS

In vitro

MC3T3-E1

CS/HA coating on the surface of zirconia scaffold had a positive effect on the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

[69]

ZrO2

ZnO

In vivo

New Zealand white rabbits

HE staining results indicate mild inflammatory response. ZrO2–ZnO ceramics had good biocompatibility when contacting bone tissue and surrounding muscle tissue.

[70]

ZrO2

-

In vivo

Rat (PDGFRs, osterix, osteopontinand osteocalcin

The bone formation has been considerably enriched in GBR sites using 3D printed zirconia barrier.
