Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications is an essential reference book for those involved in biomedical materials and advanced metals. Whether you are working in the area of manufacturing of titanium components for the medical/dental fields or researching the development of new devices made from titanium, this book will be invaluable. Written by well-known experts in the field, it covers a broad array of titanium uses including Implants, Instruments, devices and the manufacturing processes used to create them. Biomedical titanium materials are a critically important part of Biomaterials, especially in those cases where non-metallic biomedical materials are not suited to applications such as in the case of load-bearing implants. The special advantages of the use of titanium in these applications will be explored. The book begins with a discussion of Titanium Alloys mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and various fabrication approaches. The next two sections review the use of titanium for implants in the medical and dental fields, including a discussion of their microstructures. This is followed by a review of the use of Titanium for medical instruments and devices. The book then concludes with a examination of Nitinol applications.
