An extensive range of biocompatible materials has been used in patients. Diverse biomedical applications demand different properties of materials, implicating mechanical, physical, chemical, and biochemical properties. Amongst biocompatible ceramics, zirconia-based biomaterials are considered as a biomaterial for retexture of hard tissues related to their excellent mechanical properties and good biological and chemical compatibilities. Zirconia is used in-dentistry and in orthopedics, specifically in the area of femoral heads for total hip replacements.
