Study Notes
Biomaterials
- A biomaterial is a substance engineered to interact with biological systems for a therapeutic purpose, either to treat, augment, repair, or replace.
Definition and Requirements
- A biomaterial is formally defined as a material designed to take a form that can direct, through interactions with living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure.
- A designed biomaterial should serve its purpose in the environment of the living body, be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-pyrogenic, non-allergenic, blood compatible, and non-inflammatory.
Types of Biomaterials
- First-generation biomaterials were largely inert, or relatively inert, and a minimal fibrous layer formed between the biomaterial and the body.
- Improved bioinert materials have focused on bioactive materials that influence the biological response in a positive way, encouraging bonding to surrounding tissue.
Biomimetics
- Biomimetics involves imitating aspects of natural materials or living tissues, such as their chemistry, microstructure, or properties, for biomaterials design.
Applications
- Biomaterials are used in medicine and dentistry to come into contact with living tissues, such as in joint implants and tooth fillings.
Study of Biomaterials
- The study of biomaterials is called biomaterials science or biomaterials engineering, encompassing elements of medicine, biology, chemistry, tissue engineering, and materials science.
