This book discusses the current biomaterials used for dental
applications and the basic sciences underpinning their application.
The most critical structures in the oral cavity are the teeth,
which play a central role in speaking, biting, chewing, tasting and
swallowing. Teeth consist of three types of tissue: the cementum,
enamel and dentin, with bone and gingival tissue serving as
supporting structures. Caries, tooth wear, trauma and mechanical
defects can lead to severe facial conditions; however, correcting
these defects remains a challenge for scientists and dentists.
Presenting insights form a broad range of disciplines, including
materials science, biology, physiology and clinical science, this
book provides a timely review of the principles, processing and
application of dental materials.

This book provides an overview of the composition of polymeric and
ceramic bone cements. It also discusses complex, biomimetic
structures based on biomaterials, such as cells and bioactive
molecules, which more closely resemble natural bone The first
chapter describes the main concepts of the cementation process and
the parameters affecting it, while the second chapter focuses on
the composition and structure of candidate biomaterials. Lastly,
the third and fourth chapters present recent research aimed at
improving the ability of naked biomaterials to enhance bone healing
by adding cells and bioactive agents.
This book reviews drug delivery systems as mechanisms to introduce
therapeutic agents into the body to help or improve tissue
function, and examines different drug delivery systems applied in
various organs. To date, polymeric systems, ceramic particles or
composites have been used in different applications such as
injectable, coatings of implants, scaffolds, or implantable
devices. Such systems should be able to retain the therapeutic
agent and release it in uniform amounts at a specific time.
This short book presents an overview of different types of
biomaterial such as bio ceramics, bio polymers, metals and bio
composites, while especially focusing on nano biomaterials and
their applications in different tissues. It provides a compact
introduction to nano materials for drug delivery systems, tissue
engineering and implants, while also reviewing essential trends in
the biomaterial field over the last few decades and the latest
developments.
