Due to their attractive esthetics, biocompatibility and mechanical properties, zirconia ceramics are increasingly used for dental implants. But they do not form an osseo-integration due to chemical inertness. In order to improve the osseo-integration of zirconia ceramic implants, a microstructure on the ceramic surface is developed with an ion beam sputter process through a thin film mask which exhibits low sputtering rates. The thin film masks covering ceramic surface are fractured to obtain a microcrack network . After sputtering, the network of cracks is transferred as a network of micro- and submicro channels. With this, relatively high aspect ratios for the microstructures can be obtained. Moreover, by filling the cracks with another material with a high sputter resistance, it is also possible to obtain the inverted network microstructure on zirconia ceramic surface.
