Alumina particles of two different sizes (0.3 μm and 0.05 μm) were used as fillers.

Compressive strength, porosity, and pore size distribution were measured.

Main Results:

Composites containing 0.05 μm alumina exhibited higher compressive strength (28,000 psi) and lower porosity (15%) compared to those with 0.3 μm alumina (18,000 psi, 38% porosity).
Alumina particle size significantly influenced the porosity and pore size distribution of the composite.
The material demonstrated a desirable combination of mechanical properties, controlled porosity, and ease of processing.

Conclusions:

The developed polymer-ceramic composite shows significant potential for tooth-root implant applications.
The material's tunable properties make it suitable for various orthopedic implant applications.
Further research into long-term performance and biocompatibility is warranted.
