Metallic implants have the disadvantage of being insufficiently biologically active despite
their good mechanical properties and general affordability. Therefore, their bone growth at …

This article gives an overview of ceramics-based biomaterials with particular emphasis on
their various properties and health care applications. Furthermore, bio ceramics are grouped …

Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

The invention of silica-based bioactive glass in the late 1960s has sparked significant
interest in exploring a wide range of silicon-containing biomaterials from the macroscale to …

Compared with non-degradable materials, biodegradable biomaterials play an increasingly
important role in the repairing of severe bone defects, and have attracted extensive attention …

Metallic implants sometimes fail in orthopedic surgeries due to insufficient bio-functionality,
implant-associated infections, poor osteointegration due to high inertness (Ti, Co–Cr …

The excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under osteoporosis
precipitates a microenvironment with high levels of oxidative stress (OS). This could …

Bioactive glasses are a part of biomaterials that became an essential in medical applications
such as bone repair, bioactive coverings in orthopedic, and dental. In this paper, the …

A cardiovascular stent is a small mesh tube that expands a narrowed or blocked coronary
artery. Unfortunately, current stents, regardless metallic or polymeric, still largely fall short to …

To fix the bone in orthopedics, it is almost always necessary to use implants. Metals provide
the needed physical and mechanical properties for load-bearing applications. Although …
