Bioceramics are materials which include Alumina, Zirconia, Bioactive glass, Glass ceramics, Hydroxyapatite, resorbable Calcium phosphates, among others. They have been used in dentistry for filling up bony defects, root repair materials, apical fill materials, perforation sealing, as endodontic sealers and as aids in regeneration. They have certain advantages like biocompatibility, non toxicity...

The success of an implanted prosthetic material is determined by the early events occurring at the interface between the material and the body. These events depend on many surface properties, with the main ones including the surface's composition, porosity, roughness, topography, charge, functional groups and exposed area. This review will portray how our understanding of the surface reactivity...

Freeze casting with bioceramics affords the opportunity to create next generation of bone graft substitutes. Because its versatile material fabrication process and effective methods structural control, freeze helps meet many criteria that are required viable substitute biomaterials. In combination biocompatible resorbable ceramics ceramic composites can offer growth through osteoconduction, thi...

Biomaterial and scaffold development underpins the advancement of tissue engineering. Traditional scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acidco-glycolic acid) are weak and non-osteoconductive. For bone tissue engineering, polymer-based composite scaffolds containing bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite can be produced and used. The bioceramics can be e...

The field of dentistry is constantly changing with the introduction new materials and techniques that resulted in good treatment outcome.Bio-ceramics are amongst recently introduced which have changed face dentistry. Bioceramics biocompatible, nontoxic, non-shrinking usually chemically stable within biological environment.The development bioceramic based has greatly improved dentist’s possibili...
