World's population is ageing and millions of people receive implants to maintain their quality of life as they age. Problem is the need for materials with appropriate properties that will survive as long as the patient is using them. Primary use of inorganic bio-materials is repair, replacement or augmentation of diseased or damaged parts of the skeletal system such as bones and joints.

Ceramics used for the repair and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-skeletal system, are termed as bio ceramics and have properties like bioactive, resorabable (eg tricalcium phosphate), bioactive (eg hydroxyapatite), porous for tissue in-growth. Applications include replacements for hips, knees, teeth, tendons and ligaments and repair for periodontal disease, maxillofacial reconstruction, augmentation and stabilization of jaw bone, spinal fusion and bone repair after tumor surgery.
