چکیده
Biomaterial is a nonviable substance used in a medical device intended to interact with biological systems. Their usage within a physiologic medium needs the characteristic features such as efficient and reliable. These characteristic features have provided with a suitable combination of chemical, mechanical, physical and biological properties [2]. Nowadays, biomaterials are commonly used in various medical devices and systems; synthetic skin; drug delivery systems; tissue cultures; hybrid organs; synthetic blood vessels; artificial hearts; cardiac pacemakers; screws, plates, wires and pins for bone treatments; total artificial joint implants; skull reconstruction; dental and maxillofacial applications [3].

متن کاملDental biomaterials: where are we and where are we going?
This article reviews the current state of the art for restorative biomaterials by examining the roles of 1) truly biological biomaterials, with respect to the "near-future" of five to ten years, 2) traditional synthetic biomaterials, and 3) performance outcomes for biomaterials. Biological biomaterials are discussed in terms of tissue engineering and stem cell research, self-assembling system o...
متن کاملActivation of Macrophages in Response to Biomaterials.
Macrophages are the initial biologic responders to biomaterials. These highly plastic immune sentinels control and modulate responses to materials, foreign or natural. The responses may vary from immune stimulatory to immune suppressive. Several parameters have been identified that influence macrophage response to biomaterials, specifically size, geometry, surface topography, hydrophobicity, su...
