This volume of the "Bioceramics" series includes the papers selected for the 20th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine held in Nantes, France, from the 24th to the 26th of October, 2007. Some of the topics covered deal with advanced materials and technologies that support the exciting technique of the regeneration of osteoarticular tissues using minimal invasive surgery and bioactive prostheses.The contents feature the sections: Calcium phosphate; Bioglass; CaP Cements; Injectable Materials; Composites; Bioactive Titanium and Metals; Zirconia Ceramics; Dental Materials; Scaffolds; Osteoinduction; Cell-Material Interactions; Tissue Engineering; Drug Delivery; Animal Studies; and, Clinical Applications.This book will therefore be invaluable to materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists, dentists and clinicians.
