Biomaterials is now a wide field of science devoted to improve the quality of human life. It is a fast growing technology that includes many disciplines with active research and development in medical devices and a variety of biomedical applications. Bioceramics may represents the fastest growing technology nowadays accompanied with huge investments around the world. Orthopedics, as a branch of bioceramics includes partial or total knee replacement, various aspects of joint replacement, bone replacement, bone repair and so on. Dental applications of bioceramics include various aspects of dental partial or total prosthesis, bridges, crowns, veneers etc. with brilliant aesthetic properties. The "biocompatibility and bioactivity" of bioceramics makes the implant, for a large extent, part of the human body with similar properties. Bioceramics also have other applications like the replacement of the middle ear and heart valves. Hard tissue engineering is now plays a central role in the field of bioceramics. It provides different types of scaffolds to built new bones with designed properties and dissolves to leave a living bone. Bioceramics may be one of the best fields that invested nanotechnology to obtain distinguishable results. The book starts with the essential knowledge needed in ceramics and biomaterials. The necessary concepts are carefully introduced together with basic applications. Afterward, the book is gradually introduces the essential methodologies and outcomes of the scholarly studies. That was to assist a thorough understanding of the material and acquainted with recent development. In addition, the reader is equipped with necessary knowledge to grasp the last two chapters which are close to comprehensive reviews of the latest research activities in the field. A Volume in the Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials. KEY FEATURES • Acts as the only introductory reference on bioceramics that covers both the theoretical basics and advanced applications • Includes an overview of the key applications of bioceramics in orthopedics, dentistry and tissue engineering • Uses case studies to build understanding and enable innovation DESCRIPTION Bioceramics: For Materials Science and Engineering provides a great working knowledge on the field of biomaterials, including the interaction of biomaterials with their biological surroundings. The book discusses the biomedical applications of materials, the standpoint of biomedical professionals, and a real-world assessment of the academic research in the field. It addresses the types of bioceramics currently available, their structure and fundamental properties, and their most important applications. Users will find this to be the only book to cover all these aspects.
