Biomaterials for bone replacements: Past and present

Abstract

Bone damages and imperfections indicate a noteworthy medical issue. An assortment of techniques, such as alloplastic, allografts and auto grafts materials are utilized to treat absconds. Be that as it may, bone tissue engineering gives an elective system to the fix of bone deformities [1,2]. Metal is a typical materials utilized in the biomedical field for implants. Its high tensile strength and fatigue characteristic make it reasonable for a variety of uses, for example, dental implants, and joints, for example, knees and hips. Nevertheless, metals have restrictions identified with consumption, which can prompt to toxicity or hypersensitivity responses [3]. Over the last five decades, all classes of materials including metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite have drawn engineers and scientists for biomedical applications
