IN VIVO DEGRADATION OF BIOMATERIALS

Abstract

The material designed to be introduced into the human tissue should be biocompatible and biofunctional. Unless it is so, the body may respond to the implant in different ways. An inflammation reaction may appear such as: parting of items of the implant surface resulting from fraction or pressure. The condition of the surface has an important influence on the usefulness of the implant. The required values depend on the implant function and the material the implant is made of. In implants the main requirement is corrosion resistance. There should be no permanent connection between the implant and the bone. All biomaterials are subjected to degradation. Therefore it is essential, that degradation products should not cause any harmful effects such as inflammation and that there is a possibility of fast removal of the implant from the organism. Different kinds of implants, which underwent degradation, were taken out from the body and examined
