description Dental surgery needs a biocompatible implant design that can ensure both osseointegration and soft tissue integration. This study aims to investigate the behavior of a hydroxyapatite-based coating, specifically designed to be deposited onto a zirconia substrate that was intentionally made porous through additive manufacturing for the purpose of reducing the cost of material. Layers were made via sol–gel dip coating by immersing the porous substrates into solutions of hydroxyapatite that were mixed with polyethyleneimine to improve the adhesion of hydroxyapatite to the substrate. The microstructure was determined by using X-ray diffraction, which showed the adhesion of hydroxyapatite; and atomic force microscopy was used to highlight the homogeneity of the coating repartition. Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed successful, selective removal of the polymer and a preserved hydroxyapatite coating. Finally, scanning electron microscopy pictures of the printed zirconia ceramics, which were obtained through the digital light processing additive manufacturing method, revealed that the mixed coating leads to a thicker, more uniform layer in comparison with a pure hydroxyapatite coating. Therefore, homogeneous coatings can be added to porous zirconia by combining polyethyleneimine with hydroxyapatite. This result has implications for improving global access to dental care.
