Biomedical
Bioceramics have been created to minimize reactions with biological tissues (bio-inert ceramics) or, conversely, encourage tissue repair and integration with surrounding matter (bioactive ceramics).
Their use in the medical industry also extends to reconstructive surgery (implants, bone substitutes), dentistry (dental implants), medical systems (bioreactors, sensors, surgical equipment...), or pharmaceutics (active ingredient encapsulation).
| ceramics | properties | materials | applications |
| inert | no reaction with physiologic medium | Al2O3 – ZrO2 – SiO2 | substitutes – head of the femur – dental implant |
| active | reaction withphysiologic medium | Calcium phosphate –Hydroxyapatite | bone filling – ocular prosthesis |
| resorbable | biological tissue overlay ceramics | tricalcium phosphate – calcium phosphate | fillings |
