Implants into the human body, such as hip joints, heart valves and
dental crowns, have been increasingly used over the last 40 years
or so, and many patients have benefited from their use. But how
much is known about the metals, ceramics and polymers that are used
in these repairs? This book provides a state-of-the-art account of
the chemistry of the synthetic materials used in medicine and
dentistry. It looks at the properties and interactions of these
materials within the body at a molecular level, and includes
discussion of bioengineering and cell biology. In addition, there
is an account of the surgical procedures used, as well as extensive
coverage of the possible biological reactions to the presence of
foreign materials in the body. A brief look at the emerging field
of tissue engineering completes the text. Fully referenced, with
detailed reviews of the current literature, The Chemistry of
Medical and Dental Materials will be an essential starting-point
for all those in academia and industry who are involved in the
development of new and improved repair materials.
