| Session 1. Biocompatable Materials for Medical Implants (Including Injectable Material and Nanofiber Coating) |
|
| With the growing needs for superior implants, prosthetics, and scaffolds, biomaterials have become a highly explored field. These artificial materials are an integral part of this research effort, allowing for the study of cell attachment, growth, differentiation, functioning, viability, and matrix degradation. Biomaterials must fulfill 3 criteria; they must be biofunctional (suitable physical and chemical properties for replacing the tissue), biocompatible (no negative interaction between materials and biological environment), and inert to the biological environment or degradable by the system. |

| Session 2. Cardiovascular Device |
|
| Cardiovascular disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality world wide. Biocompatibility problems are encountered with the use of implanted cardiovascular devices such as artificial hearts, ventricular assist devices, heart valves, small diameter vascular grafts, and stents. Novel cardiovascular prosthetic devices or implants having many useful cardiovascular applications comprise a porous surface and a network of interconnected interstitial pores below the surface in fluid flow communication with the surface pores. Tissue forms a smooth thin adherent coating or self-determining thickness on the porous surface making it resistant to the formation of the blood clots normally associated with the presence of foreign bodies in the blood stream. |

| Session 3. Musculorskeletal Implants |
|
| Current tissue engineering strategies focus on the replacement of pathologically altered tissues by the transplantation of cells in combination with supportive biocompatible scaffolds. Scaffolds for tissue engineering strategies in musculoskeletal research require an appropriate mechanical stability. Dental surgical implant treatment modalities continue to be relatively successful within musculoskeletal restorative systems. Because available systems include a wide range of metallic and ceramic biomaterials plus multiple designs for the implant body, transgingival abutment, and intraoral crown constructs, failure analyses of explanted devices must include comprehensive information. In orthopedics, the regeneration and repair of cartilage or bone defects after trauma, cancer, or metabolic disorders is still a major clinical challenge. |
