Novel Advances and Approaches in Biomedical Materials Based on Calcium Phosphates


Book Description

Research into the use of calcium phosphates in the development and clinical application of biomedical materials has been a significantly diverse activity conducted by a wide range of scientists, engineers, and medical practitioners, among others. The field of research in this area can, hence, be truly defined as interdisciplinary, and much interesting work leading to imaginative and innovative solutions for the improvement of health outcomes continues to be generated. It has been the intention of this Special Issue to summarise a number of current topical research advances in this area, as well as to review the important area of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials, namely, composites of hydroxyapatite with carbon-based materials. The scientific papers contained in this Special Issue report on advances in the areas of dental-based materials science, bone cements, use of biomaterials created from natural sources, influences of added agents such as adipose stem cells and statins on bioactivity as well as surface influences on electrical potential of biomaterials and uses of glow discharge methods to remove impurities from biomaterial surfaces.




Advances in Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials


Book Description

Advances in Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the latest advances in developing calcium phosphate biomaterials and their applications in medicine. It covers the fundamental structures, synthesis methods, characterization methods, and the physical and chemical properties of calcium phosphate biomaterials, as well as the synthesis and properties of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials in regenerative medicine and their clinical applications. The book brings together these new concepts, mechanisms and methods in contributions by both young and “veteran” academics, clinicians, and researchers to forward the knowledge and expertise on calcium phosphate and related materials. Accordingly, the book not only covers the fundamentals but also open new avenues for meeting future challenges in research and clinical applications.

Calcium Orthophosphates


Book Description

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists use this property extensively to construct artificial bone grafts that are either entirely made of or only surface-coated with the biologically relevant calcium orthophospha

Interface Oral Health Science 2016


Book Description

This volume broadens understanding of dentistry and promotes interdisciplinary research across a wide range of related fields, based on the symposium entitled "Innovative Research for Biosis-Abiosis Intelligent Interface 2016". It aims to create highly functional and autonomic intelligent interface by combining highly functional interface science with the technology of an evaluation and a control at the interface, with the various topics of biomaterials, innovation for oral science and application, regenerative oral science, and medical engineering. Since 2002, the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry has hosted "Interface Oral Health Science" several times as the main theme of dental research in the twenty-first century, and this is the sixth proceedings of the symposiums following the ones in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2014.This book benefits not only dental scientists but also other health scientists including medical physicians and pharmacologists, material scientists, engineers, and any scientist who is involved in variety of disciplines.

Structure and Chemistry of the Apatites and Other Calcium Orthophosphates


Book Description

The apatites and related calcium phosphates have been of considerable interest to biologists, mineralogists, and inorganic and industrial chemists for many years. This book contains a detailed description of the structures and structural interrelationships of the calcium orthophosphates, including the apatites. Their preparation, crystal growth and dissolution, chemical reactions including thermal decomposition, IR, Raman and NMR spectra and various physical properties are discussed. Apatites other than those containing calcium and phosphorus are included. Synthetic, mineral and biological carbonate apatites are also considered. A wide, but critical coverage of the literature is given, which includes a substantial amount not written in English. Research from many disciplines is included which results in a comprehensive compilation of recent work.
