For quite a long time no one was aware of its potential and only in more recent times its excellent qualities have been recognised. The high-performance ceramic is used especially for applications in space, automobiles and in the human body. It is wonderfully well suited for use even in one of the “most brutal biotopes” (Prof. Peter Schärer) that is in the mouth. Here, zirconium oxide can demonstrate all of its advantages at once!
