A Review of Ceramics for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

There is currently an increasing interest in developing sophisticated biomaterials with particular chemical and physical characteristics. These superior materials have to be able to coexist harmoniously with biological settings, like the mouth or other human anatomical areas. Ceramic biomaterials provide a workable answer in terms of mechanical strength, biological functionality, and biocompatibility given these prerequisites. The basic mechanical, chemical, and physical characteristics of the most common ceramic biomaterials and ceramic nanocomposites are discussed in this study, along with a few key applications in biomedical domains like orthopedics, dentistry, and regenerative medicine. Moreover, a thorough examination of biomimetic ceramic scaffold design and fabrication as well as bone-tissue engineering is provided.
