In Vitro Evaluation of Tantalum Bioceramics

Materials that carry out their work in the body of an organism deprived of any injurious outcome on the body are defined as "bio materials". Ceramics can be crystalline or non-crystalline. Ceramics have similar chemistry as native bone, so they are widely used in dental materials, implant coatings, bone ceramics and orthopedics. Their brittle nature makes possible their use in small loads applications.
