Bone substitute biomaterials are fundamental to the biomedical
sector, and have recently benefitted from extensive research and
technological advances aimed at minimizing failure rates and
reducing the need for further surgery. This book reviews these
developments, with a particular focus on the desirable properties
for bone substitute materials and their potential to encourage bone
repair and regeneration.
Part I covers the principles of bone substitute biomaterials for
medical applications. One chapter reviews the quantification of
bone mechanics at the whole-bone, micro-scale, and non-scale
levels, while others discuss biomineralization, osteoductivization,
materials to fill bone defects, and bioresorbable materials. Part
II focuses on biomaterials as scaffolds and implants, including
multi-functional scaffolds, bioceramics, and titanium-based foams.
Finally, Part III reviews further materials with the potential to
encourage bone repair and regeneration, including cartilage grafts,
chitosan, inorganic polymer composites, and marine organisms.
