Description and Table of Contents
Description
Contains the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Philadelphia, USA in November 1993. The symposium brought together leading scientists, manufacturers and regulators contributing to the science and technology of bioceramics. Recent advances in the study of bioceramics illustrate the significant developments that can still be made in the use of these materials in medical devices; the contents of this volume represent the cutting edge in bioceramics research. Some 78 contributions address the key areas of current research in ceramic materials for orthopaedic, cardiovascular, dental and other applications. This work illustrates the significant developments that can still be made in the use of ceramic materials in medical devices.
