ASM International has been documenting the properties and failure mechanics, of metallic implant materials for the past 20 years, but mostly in the form of reviews in various volumes of the Metals/ASM Handbook series. Here staff members compile the information (not the original articles) into a single volume that covers implant material selection and application; the body/oral environment and its impact on implant material performance; the basic concepts of biocompatibility; tissue attachment mechanisms; biophysical and biomechanical requirements of implant materials; corrosion and wear, including the degradation of polymeric materials; coatings technology, including the use of coatings to facilitate implant fixation and bone ingrowth; and design considerations, especially failures related to inadequate design.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
