Due to the favourable combination of mechanical strength and fracture toughness, silicon nitride has been applied as a load-bearing bioceramic, in particular for implants used in spinal fusion surgery. Only recently it has been observed that the supposedly inert surface of silicon nitride is actually bioactive: a slow, but not negligible, pH controlled, ionic exchange between nitrogen and oxygen leads to the formation and elution of silicic acid and ammonia groups, also resulting in an effective protection against bacteria colonization. These properties could be further modulated by chemical and mechanical treatments.
