Development of Bioceramics

摘要

Implantation of Synthetic bone substitutes、or bone from another part of a person's body(autograft)or from another human patient(allograft)is one of medical treatment for regeneration of lost or damaged bone in a living body.Ceramics are very useful material to the application of repair as the synthetic bone substitutes、 because they are more stable than polymer and metal in a living body and have excellent biocompatibility.Recently、 the ceramics、what is called"bioceramics"、 have been put to practical use as an artificial bone、 teeth and joint、 as shown in figure 1.In this report、 the kinds、 the present state、 the problem and the future view of"bioceramics"(bioactive-ceramics)were discussed.
