Summary:

The field of bioceramics - ceramics intended to be in contact with living tissues - has undergone great development in the past 50 years. Initially used as biologically inert single purpose implants, bioceramics have developed to become reabsorbable materials, to be used in the manufacture of bone-like scaffolds, to interact positively with their host, and even to influence biological processes. They are used to regenerate and repair living tissues damaged by diseases or traumas. Applications today include orthopedics, dental implants, drug delivery systems and cancer therapy. Bioceramics with Clinical Applications presents a structured and comprehensive review of this highly active field of research, and includes coverage of: Biomimetics, Calcium phosphate bioceramics, Silica-based ceramics: glasses and mesoporous silica, Alumina, zirconia and other non-oxide inert bioceramics, Bioceramic coatings, Bone biology and regeneration, Ceramics for drug delivery, Nanoparticles for cancer therapy, Suitable for both advanced students and researchers, this book provides a comprehensive overview of bioceramics, and the necessary tools for the continuing development and commercialization of biomedical applications.
