About the Book

This comprehensive reference work deals with the use of ceramic materials for surgical implantation. The environment in which the materials function is covered, including bone physiology and dynamics of locomotive processes, as well as the interaction of the materials with tissues. The ways in which surgical operations are conducted are described together with the regulations concerning the materials' properties. The details provided of the chemical, physical and technological properties of the ceramic materials should enable the selection of the most appropriate material for a particular application. An interdisciplinary approach is taken so that the book should be of value to all those involved with biomaterials, including orthopaedic and facial surgeons, dentists and cardiologists as well as bioengineers and manufacturers of implants.
