The topics covered in this volume include: biomedical applications; fabrication processes; structural, physical and biological analyses; and clinical applications of ceramics. In addition, the book presents discussions on recent bioceramic technologies for the development of ceramics with tissue-bonding properties. Recent advances in the development of joint replacements using ceramics are also discussed. The book will prove to be invaluable for materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists, and clinicians.
