This handbook describes several current trends in the development
of bioceramics and biocomposites for clinical use in the repair,
remodelling, and regeneration of bone tissue. Comprehensive
coverage of these materials allows fundamental aspects of the
science and engineering to be seen in close relation to the
clinical performance of dental and orthopaedic implants.
Bioceramics and biocomposites appear to be the most dynamic area of
materials development for both tissue engineering and implantable
medical devices. Almost all medical specialties will continue to
benefit from these developments, but especially dentistry and
orthopaedics. In this Handbook, leading researchers describe the
use of bionanomaterials to create new functionalities when
interfaced with biological molecules or structures. Also described
are technologies for bioceramics and biocomposites processing in
order to fabricate medical devices for clinical use. Another
important section of the book is dedicated to tissue regeneration
with development of new matrices. A targeted or personalized
treatment device reduces drug consumption and treatment expenses,
resulting in benefits to the patient and cost reductions for public
health systems.

This authoritative reference on the state-of-the-art in the
development and use of bioceramics and biocomposites can also serve
as the basis of instructional course lectures for audiences ranging
from advanced undergraduate students to post-graduates in materials
science and engineering and biomedical engineering.
