Editorial: Inorganic Biomaterials

The objective of this research topic “Inorganic Biomaterials” within the scope of the article series “Bioengineering and Biotechnology” featured by the open access journal “Frontiers” was to present a comprehensive introduction to the field of inorganic bioactive biomaterials being considered for the replacement of hard tissues, in particular, bone tissue and related topics in bone tissue engin...

Hypersensitivity Associated with Metallic Biomaterials

tion of metals have been reported to cause reacBiocompatibility can be defined as the ability tions, which most typically manifest as hives, of a biomaterial to demonstrate host and material eczema, redness, and itching (6,9–11). Although response appropriate to its intended application little is known about the shortand long-term (1). The determination of biocompatibility has pharmacodynamics ...

Metallic Biomaterials: Current Challenges and Opportunities

Metallic biomaterials are engineered systems designed to provide internal support to biological tissues and they are being used largely in joint replacements, dental implants, orthopaedic fixations and stents. Higher biomaterial usage is associated with an increased incidence of implant-related complications due to poor implant integration, inflammation, mechanical instability, necrosis and inf...
