In order to be classified as a bioceramic, the ceramic material must meet or exceed the properties listed in Table 39.1. The number of specific ceramics currently in use or under investigation cannot be accounted for in the space available for bioceramics in this book. Thus, this chapter will focus on a general overview of the relatively bioinert, bioactive or surface reactive ceramics, and biodegradable or resorbable bioceramics.

Bioceramics are used in the human body. The response of these materials varies from nearly inert to bioactive to resorbable. Nearly inert bioceramics include alumina (AI2O3) and zirconia (Zr02). Bioactive ceramics include hydroxyapatite and some special glass and glass-ceramic formulations. Tricalcium phosphate is an example of a resorbable bioceramic it dissolves in the body. Three issues will determine future progress ... 

Bioceramics are ceramics used for the repair and reconstruction of human body parts. There are many applications for bioceramics currently the most important is in implants such as alumina hip prostheses. Alumina is classified as an inert bioceramic because it has very low reactivity in the body. However, bioactive materials have the ability to bond directly with bone. The advantages are... 

If a nearly inert material is implanted into the body it initiates a protective response that leads to encapsulation by a nonadherent fibrous coating about 1 i.m thick. Over time this leads to complete isolation of the implant. A similar response occurs when metals and polymers are implanted. In the case of bioactive ceramics a bond forms across the implant-tissue interface that mimics the bodies natural repair process. Bioactive ceramics such as HA can be used in bulk form or as part of a composite or as a coating. Resorbable bioceramics, such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP), actually dissolve in the body and are replaced by the surrounding tissue. It is an important requirement, of course, that the...

Bioceramics have now been widely used as bone replacement materials in orthopaedic surgery. In particular, calcium phosphate ceramics have been applied as bioactive ceramics with bone bonding capacities.
