Skin/cartilage Drug Delivery Devices Ocular implants Bone replacements Orthopedic screws/fixation Synthetic BIOMATERIALS Metals Ceramics Polymers Dental Implants Dental Implants Semiconductor Materials Biosensors Implantable Microelectrodes CLASSIFICATION OF BIOMATERIALS
METALIC BIOMATERIALS • Crystal structures and strong metallic bonds-orthopedic applications -the face and jaw surgery -cardio-vascular surgery material joint prosthesis and bone renewal Dental implant Artificial heart parts, heart valve
Metals used as Biomaterials • Steel • Cobalt-containing alloys • Titanium and titanium containing alloys • Dental amalgam (XHg) • Gold • Nickel- titanium alloys
Corrosion; • The undesired chemical reaction of metals with their surruondings that forms oxygen, hydroxide and other compounds then degradation Corroding MetalXBiocompatible
Ceramic Biomaterials (Bioceramics) The class of ceramics used for repair and replacement of diseased and damaged parts of the musculoskeletal system are referred to as bioceramics. OBJECTIVES • To examine chemical/physical properties of ceramics • To introduce the use of ceramics as biomaterials • To explore concepts and mechanisms of bioactivity
Ceramics (keramikos- pottery in Greek) Ceramics are refractory polycrystalline compounds • Usually inorganic • Highly inert • Hard and brittle • High compressive strength • Generally good electric and thermal insulators • Good aesthetic appearance Applications: • orthopaedic implants • dental applications • compromise of non-load bearing for bioactivity
BIOCERAMICS • Bioceramics; Repair the parts of body that injured or lost their function, restructuringor special ceramics are designed to replace; - polycrystalline structure ceramic (alumina), - bioactive glass, - bioactive glass-ceramics, - bioactive composites…
Using Areas of Bioceramics • Glasses, • Diagnostic devices, • Thermometers, • Tissue culture vessels. • Filling materials, • Gold-porcelain coating, • Prosthetic parts Health Sector Dental

Natural hard tissues are “ceramic”-polymer composites: Bones, Teeth, Shells Tissue = organic polymer fibers + mineral + living cells Mineral component (Ceramic) Bone: hydroxyapatite (HA) – Ca5(PO4)3OH Mineralization under biological conditions: Many elemental substitutions Protein directed crystallization Unique characteristics – crystal morphology and solubility Synthetic calcium phosphates are used as biomaterials – “bioactive” Nature’s Ceramic Composites Synthetic HA Bone HA
Types of Ceramics nearly bioinert
Bioactivity vs. Biocompatibility Biocompatibility : Objective is to minimize inflammatory responses and toxic effects Bioactivity - Evolving concept: • The characteristic that allows the material to form a bond with living tissue (Hench, 1971) • The ability of a material to stimulate healing and trick the tissue system into responding as if it were a natural tissue (Hench 2002). • Advantages: Bone tissue – implant interface, enhanced healing response, extends implant life Biodegradability: • Breakdown of implant due to chemical or cellular actions • If timed to rate of tissue healing transforms implant to scaffold for tissue regeneration • Negates issues of stress shielding, implant loosening, long term stability

Classification of Bioceramics According to Tissue Responses Ceramic implants are non-toxic
Bioceramics According to Structural Functions • Oxide ceramics, inert structure, polycrystalline ceramics consisting of metal ions in the plane formed by the dissolution of oxygen ions Alumina(Al2O3)orthopedic applications Zirconia(ZrO2) femoral prosthese
Inert Ceramics: Alumina History: • since early seventies more than 2.5 million femoral heads implanted worldwide. • alumina-on-alumina implants have been FDA monitored • over 3000 implants have been successfully implemented since 1987 Smaller the grain size and porosity, higher the strength • E = 380 GPa (stress shielding may be a problem) High hardness: • Low friction • Low wear • Corrosion resistance Friction: surface finish of <0.02 um Wear: no wear particles generated – biocompatible
Inert Ceramics: Aluminum Oxides (Alumina – Al2O3) Applications • orthopaedics: • femoral head • bone screws and plates • porous coatings for femoral stems • porous spacers (specifically in revision surgery) • knee prosthesis • dental: crowns and bridges
Alumina Bioinertness • Results in biocompatibility – low immune response • Disadvantage: • Minimal bone ingrowth • Non-adherent fibrous membrane • Interfacial failure and loss of implant can occur
Inert Ceramics: Zirconia, ZrO2 zirconium; named from the Arabic, zargun = gold color Fabrication: • Obtained from the mineral zircon • Addition of MgO, CaO, CeO, or Y2O3 stabilize tetragonal crystal structure (e.g. 97 mol%ZrO2 and 3 mol%Y2O3) • Usually hot-pressed or hot isostatically pressed Applications: • orthopaedics: femoral head, artificial knee, bone screws and plates, favored over UHMWPE due to superior wear resistance • dental: crowns and bridges
Glass and glass-ceramics: • Silica(SiO2) –based ceramics (Includes Lithium-Aluminum or Magnesium-Aluminum crystals) • Bioglass: • Instead of some silica groups, calcium, phosphorus or sodium is present(SiO2, Na2O, CaO, P2O5)
Bioactive Ceramics: Glass Ceramics Glass: • an inorganic melt cooled to solid form without crystallization • an amorphous solid • Possesses short range atomic order Brittle! Glass-ceramic is a polycrystalline solid prepared by controlled crystallization of glass Glass ceramics were the first biomaterials to display bioactivity (bone system): • Capable of direct chemical bonding with the host tissue • Stimulatory effects on bone-building cells
Bioactive Ceramics: Glass Ceramics • Composition includes SiO2, CaO and Na2O • Bioactivity depends on the relative amounts of SiO2, CaO and Na2O • Cannot be used for load bearing applications • Ideal as bone cement filler and coating due to its biological activity
SiO2 B C A D CaO Na2O Bioactive Ceramics: Glass ceramics A: Bonding within 30 days B: Nonbonding, reactivity too low C: Nonbonding, reactivity too high D: Bonding

Calcium-phosphate ceramics; their structure is the form of multiple oxides of calcium and phosphate atoms • Hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH, • Tricalcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2 • Oktacalcium phosphate CaH(PO4)3.2OH In medicine and dentistry
Biodegradable Ceramics: Calcium (Ortho) Phosphate • Structure resembles bone mineral; thus used for bone replacement • Coating of metal implants to promote bone ingrowth • Different forms exist depending on Ca/P ratio, presence of water, impurities and temperature • 7 different forms of PO4 based calcium phosphates exist - depend on Ca/P ratio, presence of water, pH, impurities and temperature
Calcium Phosphate • Powders • Scaffolds • Coatings for implants – metals, heart valves to inhibit clotting • Self-Setting bone cement
Calcium Phosphates Uses • repair material for bone damaged trauma or disease • void filling after resection of bone tumors • repair and fusion of vertebrae • repair of herniated disks • repair of maxillofacial and dental defects • ocular implants • drug-delivery • coatings for metal implants, heart valves to inhibit clotting
Advantage of Bioceramics The resistance to • Microorganisms, • Temparature, • Solvents • pH changes • High pressures is the advantage in health and dental aplications
