Synopsis

The proceedings from two distinct programs are woven together, presenting a broad, multidisciplinary perspective on bioceramic materials. Medical practitioners, component manufacturers and material scientists discuss ceramics as biomaterials - the behavior and properties of materials and how these characteristics make particular materials useful in specific applications. Fabrication and processing techniques are reviewed and the performance of structural components in dental and bone replacement applications are assessed. Some of the papers included in this volume are: "Optical Fibers for Laser Surgery," "Ceramic Hip Joint Heads Made from Zirconia and Alumina - A Comparison," "Fibrous Hydroxylapatite and Tricalcium Phosphate - Properties of the Fibers and Fiber-Polymer Composites" and "Colloidal and Thermal Processing Variables for Alumina-Glass Dental Composites." Papers from the 96th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society in Indianapolis (1994) and the Workshop on Ceramics for Biomedical Applications, Alfred, NY, USA (1994).
