Preface
Bioceramics play an important role in repairing and regenerating bone
defects. Annually, more than 500,000 bone graft procedures are performed
in the United States and approximately 2.2 million are conducted worldwide.
The estimated cost of these procedures approaches $2.5 billion per year.
Around 60% of the bone graft substitutes available on the market involve
bioceramics. It is reported that bioceramics in the world market increase by
9% per year. For this reason, the research of bioceramics has been one of the
most active areas during the past several years. Considering the significant
importance of bioceramics, our goal was to compile this book to review the
latest research advances in the field of bioceramics. The text also summa-
rizes our work during the past 10 years in an effort to share innovative con-
cepts, design of bioceramics, and methods for material synthesis and drug
delivery. We anticipate that this text will provide some useful information
and guidance in the bioceramics field for biomedical engineering research-
ers and material scientists.
Information on novel mesoporous bioactive glasses and silicate-based
ceramics for bone regeneration and drug delivery are presented. Mesoporous
bioactive glasses have shown multifunctional characteristics of bone regen-
eration and drug delivery due to their special mesopore structures, whereas
silicate-based bioceramics, as typical third-generation biomaterials, possess
significant osteostimulation properties. Silica nanospheres with a core-shell
structure and specific properties for controllable drug delivery have been
carefully reviewed—a variety of advanced synthetic strategies have been
developed to construct functional mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a
core-shell structure, including hollow, magnetic, or luminescent, and other
multifunctional core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In addition,
multifunctional drug delivery systems based on these nanoparticles have
been designed and optimized to deliver the drugs into the targeted organs
or cells, with a controllable release fashioned by virtue of various internal
and external triggers. The novel 3D-printing technique to prepare advanced
bioceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications has been
highlighted, including the preparation, mechanical strength, and biological
properties of 3D-printed porous scaffolds of calcium phosphate cement and
silicate bioceramics. Three-dimensional printing techniques offer improved
large-pore structure and mechanical strength. In addition, biomimetic prep-
aration and controllable crystal growth as well as biomineralization of bio-
ceramics are summarized, showing the latest research progress in this area.
Finally, inorganic and organic composite materials are reviewed for bone
regeneration and gene delivery. Bioactive inorganic and organic composite

materials offer unique biological, electrical, and mechanical properties for
designing excellent bone regeneration or gene delivery systems.
It is our sincere hope that this book will update the reader as to the research
progress of bioceramics and their applications in bone repair and regenera-
tion. It will be the best reward to all the contributors of this book if their
efforts herein in some way help readers in any part of their study, research,
and career development.
