Abstract
Smart bioceramics are mostly used to replace or reconstruct bone and joints. They can induce bone formation in hard tissues, and they can be used to increase the success of treating bone nonunion and fracture healing. A delayed union or prolonged healing can occur in certain bone fractures such as in distal tibia, scaphoid of the wrist, and talus of the ankle and in some cases can lead to nonunion fractures. Smart bioceramics can be used to prevent nonunion fractures and enhance the bone regeneration process. The addition of certain elements such as magnesium, zinc, strontium, and boron may enhance the osteoconductive property of bioceramics. They can be used to promote spinal fusion and/or assist implant integration in osteoporotic bones. Surfaces of nano-bioceramics improve osteointegration by increasing the areas available for osteoblast attachment, proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix formation. Nano-bioceramics are also biocompatible and may induce bone formation. Smart bioceramics could be osteoinductive when produced by combining them with active signaling molecules and/or cells. The context of this chapter reviews the recent trends on smart bioceramics.
