Biomaterials

A text dedicated to the principles and applications of tissue engineering for bone regeneration, covering topics such as transcription factors in bone development, osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, and the use of bone substitutes.

A comprehensive analysis of how synthetic and natural biomaterials interact with the human immune system, focusing on foreign body response, inflammation, biocompatibility testing, and strategies for material surface modification to enhance integration.

A comprehensive study on various biomaterials used for bone grafting, including autografts, hydroxyapatite, calcium-phosphates, and biocomposites, essential for achieving successful osseointegration and longevity in dental and medical implant recipients.

A collection of peer-reviewed papers (Special Technical Publication, STP) from a 2002 symposium addressing the use, design, construction, and corrosion resistance of stainless steels for medical and surgical instruments and apparatus.

This volume, part of the Springer Series in Biomaterials Science and Engineering, addresses the manufacture, structure and properties, and applications of materials that are in contact with biological systems. It covers the whole spectrum of biomaterials—polymers, metals, glasses and ceramics, and composites/hybrids—including new and developing areas like nano-biomaterials and regenerative medicine. This specific thematic volume provides a comprehensive overview of the field related to calcium phosphate bone cements, reporting cutting-edge research and significant progress.

This book explores the application of bionanomaterials and nanobiotechnology within the field of dentistry, focusing on the stomatognathic system, biomaterials, and implantology issues.

A comprehensive book detailing the bioscience and bioengineering applications of titanium materials. It covers fundamental knowledge and best practices for practitioners and researchers working with titanium in medical and dental implant contexts.

This book is part of the Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering Series, covering broad and multidisciplinary topics in physics, biology, chemistry, and medicine. The series emphasizes established and emergent areas like molecular biophysics, photosynthetic energy harvesting, neural networks, biosensors, medical imaging, advanced prostheses, and environmental control.

This book explores the adverse effects and complications arising from the interaction between biomaterials and the host immune system, detailing the underlying mechanisms and strategies for immunomodulation.

This research examines the ultrastructure of GIC-bonded moist dentin using SEM, FE ESEM, and TEM to understand the consequence of water permeation across the GIC-dentin interface. It identifies spherical bodies along the interfaces, consisting of a silicon-rich GIC phase, which are inclusions resulting from the continuation of the glass ionomer reaction upon water diffusion from moist dentin.

A detailed review of the science and technology behind medical implants, focusing on material selection, biomechanical modeling, regulatory requirements, and long-term patient outcomes for cardiovascular, orthopedic, and neurological devices.

A comprehensive collection exploring the principles of multifunctional materials, covering their engineering aspects and diverse applications, particularly focusing on their utility in biological systems and biomedical contexts.
