Abstract
The research on biomaterials for hard-tissue implantation or replacement has expanded considerably during the last ten years. To establish a load-bearing unity of implant and hard tissue, the implant must be incorporated into the bone. However, to fulfill this function, the implant material must possess certain specific properties. The required properties can be classified roughly under the headings of biocompatibility, implant construction, and biomechanics.11 Biocompatibility deals with the interfacial reactions between biomaterials and tissue. Implant construction deals with the engineering of the implant as well as its mechanical properties, such as hardness and strength. Biomechanics is concerned with the mechanical-dynamic properties of an implant and surrounding tissues. For the safe application of implants, they must be evaluated for all these properties. This chapter focuses on the biocompatibility or interfacial analysis of materials for hard-tissue implantation.
