Summary
The covering of surfaces of prosthesis is today usual. This study takes into consideration ceramic coverings on titanium substrates to carry out a comparison among them about the characteristics of the interface ceramic/titanium. Dental roots of titanium were utilized as suitable samplings to cover.
The quality, or high-grade, of the covering expressed in terms of joining adhesion of the ceramic covering to the metallic substrate is connected to the thickness, to the porosity, to the joined area and to the thermodynamic state or complexity (number of crystallographic phases) of the ceramic layer.
