Provides comprehensive coverage of the research into and clinical uses
of bioceramics and biocomposites
Developments related to bioceramics and biocomposites appear to be one
the most dynamic areas in the field of biomaterials, with multiple
applications in tissue engineering and medical devices. This book covers
the basic science and engineering of bioceramics and biocomposites for
applications in dentistry and orthopedics, as well as the
state-of-the-art aspects of biofabrication techniques, tissue
engineering, remodeling, and regeneration of bone tissue. It also
provides insight into the use of bionanomaterials to create new
functionalities when interfaced with biological molecules or structures.
Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, Bioceramics
and Biocomposites: From Research to Use in Clinical Practice offers
complete coverage of everything from extending the concept of
hemopoietic and stromal niches, to the evolution of bioceramic-based
scaffolds. It looks at perspectives on and trends in bioceramics in
endodontics, and discusses the influence of newer biomaterials use on
the structuring of the clinician's attitude in dental practice or in
orthopedic surgery. The book also covers such topics as biofabrication
techniques for bioceramics and biocomposites; glass ceramics: calcium
phosphate coatings; brain drug delivery bone substitutes; and much more.
