Abstract:
This chapter mainly introduces the classification of bioceramics and their biomedical applications. Zirconia and alumina composite bio-inert ceramics are currently used as femoral head, dental implants and hip replacement acetabular cups. Nanostructured, bio-inert ceramics have significantly improved toughness and stability, making them ideal for future clinical needs. Bioactive glass and calcium phosphate are being studied as scaffolds for bone cement, bone fillers, coatings and tissue regeneration and bone repair. These natural and synthetic materials, designed to have a strong binding force with bone, appear as alternatives to metal implants. These biomaterials are divided into bio-inert ceramics such as zirconia and alumina, bioactive glass and glass ceramics, and bioabsorbable calcium phosphate-based materials. Bioceramics include calcium phosphate, bioglass and hydroxyapatite, which are used as scaffolds, bone fillers and coating agents due to their mineral composition similar to hard tissues.
