Properties of Bone, Teeth, and Biomaterials

Ceramics have numerous uses in the field of biomaterials, mainly becairse of their physicochemical properties. Their chemical inertness helps to minimize organic reactions of the host organism and their hardness and resistance to abrasion makes them suitable for substitution of hard tissues (bones and teeth). Some ceramics also have excellent tribological properties and are utilized in friction couples intended to replace malfunctioning joints. Finally, other properties (appearance, electrical insulation) also determine certain biomedical applications. [Pg.494]
