Description
Description
Bioglass and Its Applications in Tissue Engineering and Dentistry is a comprehensive, an up-to-date reference on the latest developments in this field. The book covers the entire spectrum from synthesis and characterization to clinical applications, regulatory standards, and sustainability. The book’s objectives are to provide a unified, an in-depth resource on the fundamental science, various types, and advanced formulations of Bioglass. It details the diverse synthesis and surface modification techniques including computational and AI-driven approaches and explores clinical and industrial applications in dentistry and tissue engineering. A special focus is placed on recent innovations, practical methodologies, and real-world case studies of both clinical and commercial applications. There is also expanded discussion on key challenges and future directions. The book will be a valuable reference resource for researchers, clinicians, postgraduate students, and industry professionals who are working on the development of biomaterials, medical devices, and regenerative healthcare, thus fulfilling a critical need for an integrated reference that supports both academic research, and translational practice in modern biomedicine.
