What are they Bio Materials

BIOMATERIALS CAN BE DEFINED AS COMMON BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS SUCH

AS SKIN, WOOD, OR ANY ELEMENT THAT REPLACES THE FUNCTION OF
TISSUES OR LIVING ORGANS.
ARE MATERIALS USED TO BE INCORPORATED OR IMPLANTED INTO A LIVING
SYSTEM TO REPLACE OR RESTORE SOME FUNCTION BY REMAINING IN
PERMANENT OR INTERMITTENT CONTACT WITH BODY FLUIDS.
 TYPES OF BIOMATERIALS
 Throughout the classification by generations of biomaterials we can find the
following categories of biomaterials interspersed. These categories give us a
general idea about their behavior regardless of the type of material (Metal,
ceramic, composite, etc) or its dimensions (macroscopic, microscopic,
nanoscopic, etc)
 Bioactive: A bioactive material is one that provides a specific biological
response at the interface of the material, which results in the union between
the material and the tissues. These they react chemically with the medium,
resulting in the formation of a strong interfacial bond between the implant
and the host tissue.
 Biodegradable: They are designed to gradually degrade and in this way can
be replaced by the host tissue. The constituents of these degraded materials
must be accepted by the organism and an adjustment between the
degradation of the biomaterial with the formation of own tissue.
 Inert: They are used in direct contact with the bone tissue and
osseointegration is sought, that is to say the direct structural and functional
union between the bone tissue and the surface of the implant. The most
widespread material is titanium and its alloys.
CLASSIFICATION
 Here are some ways to classify biomaterials,
keeping in mind the number of possible
classifications that exist:
 SOME APPLICATIONS OF
THE BIOMATERIALS
Dental implants
By means of specific surgical techniques,
it is possible to replace lost dental
pieces,
by other synthetic ones, with the same
functions and long duration.
The prosthesis consists of three
fundamental parts, called crown, pin or
stump, which will support the crown and
the implant itself that will replace the
root
of the tooth.
 Spine

 The first surgical procedure for

a thoracic herniated disc was
reported by Middleton and
Teacher in 1911. From the
1930s to the present, metallic
material is used in prostheses
in surgeries. In 1966 the first
surgery with prosthesis was
made, replacing a cervical disc.
