Bioceramics

Abstract Bioceramics are not new to mankind and can be classified on the basis of their origin, composition, crystallinity, and type of tissue response associated with them. Because of the positive interactions of bioceramics with human tissues, bioceramics can be utilized in numerous biomedical applications. Various fields of medicine, surgery, dentistry, and tissue engineering are making good use of bioceramics to introduce more potent treatment options to augment the traditional medical and dental practices. This chapter begins with an introduction to bioceramics and then covers all possible classifications of bioceramics followed by a detailed account of the possible biomedical applications of bioceramics.
