Biocomposites for Orthopedic and Dental Application

Abstract:

The development of polymer and inorganic filler lead to new biocomposite materials with a wide range of applications in orthopedic and dental application. Biomposites possess an excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and superior mechanical properties. The inclusion of bioactive filler of hydroxyapatite, wollastonite glass-ceramics and bioactive glass could provide bioactivity of biocomposites. This review summarizes the recent work on the development of biocomposites containing biopolymers with different bioactive particles suitable for use in bone defects/bone regeneration and dental application.
