Advanced Bioceramics: Properties, Processing, and Applications

Advanced Bioceramics: Properties, Processing, and Applications describes development of bioceramics and biocomposites, which are used in bone tissue repair, remodelling, and regeneration. It covers the fundamental aspects of materials science and bioengineering, clinical performance in a variety of applications, ISO/ASTM specifications, and opportunities and challenges. x Offers a comprehensive view of properties and processing of bioceramics. x Highlights applications in dentistry, orthopaedic and maxillofacial implants, and regenerative and tissue engineering. x Covers ISO/ASTM specifications, such as processing, clinical applications, recycling/reuse, and disposal standards. x Explores health, environmental, and ethical issues. This book is aimed at researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in materials science and biomedical engineering and can assist in the design of novel, targeted, and personalized bioceramics-based treatments.
