About This Book
Biocompatibility of Dental Biomaterials details and examines the fundamentals of biocompatibililty, also including strategies to combat it. As biomaterials used in the mouth are subject to different problems than those associated with the general in vivo environment, this book examines these challenges, presenting the latest research and forward-thinking strategies.
- Explores the fundamentals of dental biomaterials and their compatibility
- Presents a thorough review of material specific issues

1.1 Introduction
Biocompatibility is the ability of a material to elicit an appropriate biological response to a given application in the body. Biocompatibility is not a property of just the material, but rather a property of how the material reacts with its environment. Indeed, Williams in 2008 defined biocompatibility as: “the ability of a biomaterial to perform its desired function with respect to a medical therapy, without eliciting any undesirable local or systemic effects in the recipient or beneficiary of that therapy, but generating the most appropriate beneficial cellular or tissue response to that specific situation, and optimizing the clinically relevant performance of that therapy.”
The most recent thinking regarding biocompatibility is that it is possible to customize interactions at the material–tissue interface. Therefore, several factors must be considered when trying to measure the biological response. The most important factors include:
