Dental Implants and Bone Grafts Materials and Biological Issues

Dental Implants and Bone Grafts: Materials and Biological Issues brings together cutting-edge research to provide detailed coverage of biomaterials for alveolar bone replacement and reconstruction, enabling scientists and clinicians to gain a thorough knowledge of advances and applications in this field. As tooth loss and alveolar bony defects are common and pose a significant health problem in dental clinics, this book deals with timely topics, including alveolar bone structures and properties, mechanical function, pathological changes, material issues, reviews of biomaterials and tissue engineering for dental implants, design and surface modification, biological interaction and biocompatibility of dental implants, and new frontiers. This book is a highly valuable resource for scientists, clinicians and implantologists interested in the complex alveolar bone system and biomaterial and regenerative strategies for its reconstruction. Focuses on the structure, function and pathology of alveolar bone systemConsiders the issues involved in selecting alveolar bone biomaterials (dental implants and bone grafts)Discusses the requirements for optimal dental implant osseointegration and alveolar bone replacements/reconstructionExplains the biological basis of interactions between alveolar bone and biomaterials INDICE: 1.
