When mechanics is applied to biomaterials it is called biomechanics. It is how well materials behave in real structures, It is the application of the principles of engineering to the human body. Biomechanics is also how well the materials withstand the forces generated from the action of mastication and occlusion. Considerations of Biomechanics are Important [...]

Biomaterials When a material is placed in contact with the human body Non living material designed to interact with biological system. Three main areas of use 1. dental restorative materials 2. structural implants 3. cardiovascular implants Biocompatibility Non destructive in the biological environment. The biological interaction can take place either at a local level or [...]
