Abstract

Glass ceramics and ceramics have a vast range of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Biocompatible glasses and ceramics, including bioinert ceramics, bioactive glasses (BGs), and calcium phosphate have been reviewed in this chapter detailing the history, properties, structure, and application. Ceramics and glasses with bioactivity and biocompatibility properties are pioneer solutions for a variety of clinical needs. The capacity of ceramics in hydroxyapatite formation (HA) has also been explained in this section. This chapter includes the invention of the first generation of ceramics and an explanation of how significant are their clinical applications.
