Abstract
In synthetic ceramic materials, the types of interactions that occur in the physiological environment during body implants and tissues are defined as bioinert, bioactive, and bioresorbable. Bioresorbable materials, whether polymers, ceramics, or composite-based systems, are widely used in a variety of biomedical applications. Designing a bioresorbable device requires careful consideration of an accurate way of forecasting the biosorption of this class of materials. Bioresorbable ceramics possess the ability to undergo in vivo absorption and consequent replacement by the newly formed bone. They have a bonding pattern that is similar to bioactive ceramics. However, the fact that bioresorbable ceramics frequently fail to make solid contact with bone limits their potential medical uses. Bioactive and bioresorbable ceramics have a narrower application range than bioinert ceramics.
