Analysis of alumina-zirconia nanocomposite scaffolds (SNA-Z) in bone defects

October 2021 to September 2023

Orthopedic conditions that require replacement of bone tissue are common not only in human medicine, but also in veterinary medicine, which require reconstructive surgical treatment with the use of a bone substitute. The aim of this research is to morphologically analyze the behavior of alumina-zirconia nanocomposite scaffolds (SNA-Z) coated with calcium phosphate in bone defects induced in rabbit tibias at different times.
