Abstract:
Overall, the benefits of advanced ceramic materials in biomedical applications have been universally appreciated,
specifically, in terms of their strength, biocompatibility and wear resistance. However, the amount of supporting data is
not large and the continuous development of new methods is pertinent for better understanding of the microstructureproperties
relationship and, in general, for obtaining new directives for their further improvement. This paper gives an
overview of some of the more innovative applications of bioceramics in medicine.
