This book offers a comprehensive exploration of silicon nitride biomaterials, encompassing both established and emerging applications. Key topics include a foundational overview of biomaterials, followed by an in-depth examination of silicon nitride's structure, bulk properties, processing techniques, surface chemistry, and its critical functionalities: osteoconductivity and antipathogenicity. The text delves into silicon nitride biocomposites and coatings, exploring their potential in various fields. Dedicated chapters address the use of silicon nitride in spinal surgery and total joint arthroplasty, providing valuable insights. Additionally, a critical comparison between silicon nitride and zirconia-toughened alumina is presented. The book concludes with a discussion of silicon nitride's promising future applications within dentistry and other emerging fields. This comprehensive resource serves as an ideal reference for ceramic scientists, students, orthopedic and neurosurgeons, and professionals in the orthopedic implant industry seeking to expand their knowledge of silicon nitride biomaterials and their diverse applications.
