Ebook: Biomaterials and Engineering for Implantology: In Medicine and Dentistry

Biomaterials are composed of metallic materials, ceramics, polymers, composites and hybrid materials. Biomaterials used in human beings require safety regulations, toxicity, allergic reaction, etc. When used as implantable materials their biological compatibility, biomechanical compatibility, and morphological compatibility must be acessed. This book explores the design and requirements of biomaterials for the use in implantology.

• Dicusses implantation requirements for biomaterials design.
• Covers classes of biomaterials, surface engineering for implantable materials, types of medical implants, and evaluation of successful implantation.
• Transdisciplinary approach.
