Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
An international group of contributors present recent research in bioceramics at the 19th Annual Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, which took place in Chengdu, China (where the editors are based, at the Sichuan U. and the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics) in October 2006. The 349 papers are organized into 15 topics, though they are characterized by the interdisciplinarity of the subject. Among the topics are tissue engineering, osteoinductive materials, dental materials, wear, bioactive coatings and biomimetic apatites, ceramic composites, and nanomaterials. The articles are illustrated with b&w microphotography, tables, and related material.
