What Are Bioceramics?
Bioceramics are a class of ceramic materials specifically designed for biomedical applications, particularly for interaction with biological tissues. Common bioceramics include calcium phosphate–based materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP).
These materials are known for their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and ability to support bone regeneration. Unlike structural ceramics, bioceramics are often used in applications where controlled degradation, osseointegration, and biological response are critical. With the advancement of ceramic 3D printing, bioceramics enable the fabrication of patient-specific implants and porous scaffolds for tissue engineering.
