Abstract
A sintered hydroxyapatite (HAP) ceramic for use in wear studies was prepared from a commerical tricalcium phosphate. The sintered HAP had physical properties close to those of human enamel. The coefficient of friction and wear of the sintered HAP ceramic as characterized by tangential force, track width, and surface failure data, approximated those of human enamel.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
