Author Description

Since their inception Bioceramics meetings have provided a treasure house of information for both scientists and clinicians in the medical field. The clinical applications are numerous, in particular in the areas of orthopaedics, maxillofacial, plastic and ocular surgery, percutaneous devices, tissue engineering and sensors. This volume in addition to research papers contributed also presents selected overviews and discussions on recent bioceramics research and trends. Some of the papers include: fabrication processes; biomedical applications; structural, physical and biological analysis; clinical applications in orthopaedics, dentistry, ocular surgery and in cancer treatment. Current research on natural and synthetic apatites, stem cells, BMP, GF containing new generation inorganic.
