Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications is an essential reference book for those involved in biomedical materials and advanced metals. Written by well-known experts in the field, it covers a broad array of titanium uses, including implants, instruments, devices, the manufacturing processes used to create them, their properties, corrosion resistance and various fabrication approaches. Biomedical titanium materials are a critically important part of biomaterials, especially in cases where non-metallic biomedical materials are not suited to applications, such as the case of load-bearing implants.

The book also covers the use of titanium for implants in the medical and dental fields and reviews the use of titanium for medical instruments and devices.
