Nanostructured Biomaterials for Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Applications

Nanostructured Biomaterials for Cranio-Facial and Oral Applications examines the combined impact of materials science, biomedical and chemical engineering and biology to provide enhanced biomaterials for applications in the field of maxillo-facial rehabilitation and implantology. With a strong focus on a variety of material classes, the book also examines material processing and characterization techniques to decrease mechanical and biological failure in the human body. After an introduction to the field, the book examines some of the most commonly used materials for cranio-facial applications: ceramics, polymers and glass ceramics. The book goes on to look at nanostructured surfaces and functionally graded nanobiomaterials and manufacturing of nanostructured materials by 3-D printing. Finally the degradation of nanostructured biomaterials and the host response are discussed. This book is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers and clinicians wishing to broaden their knowledge in this important and developing field.
