Bio-Implant Interface

by J. E. Ellingsen

Bio-Implant Interface Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Achieving success with implanted biomaterials depends upon integrating the advances of biologists, clinicians, material scientists and tissue engineering. As these advances push back the frontiers of biomaterial medicine, the control and patterning of bio-implant interface reactions will have a tremendous positive impact on future implant treatments. Bio-Implant Interface: Improving Biomaterials and Tissue Reactions brings together a remarkable panel of scientists to present the state-of-the-art in our understanding of interactions at the interface between biomaterials and living tissue. It brings readers quickly up to date and will undoubtedly stimulate further advances.

Book News Annotation:

Twenty-four contributions share current knowledge about the compatibility of bioimplant surfaces with living tissue and the impact surface texture can have on the success rate of surgical implants. Several of the papers explore the role of implant surface properties on the clinical outcome of oral implant therapy, bone response to macro design and micro texturing, and cell and tissues reactions to biomaterials. Other topics include inducing bone growth using extracellular matrix proteins, molecular assembly techniques for tailoring the chemical properties of titanium surfaces, regulatory risk management of medical devices, and the potential of self- assembling and biomimetic biomaterials.
