      The goalThe aim of the course is to familiarize students with the field of bioceramic materials that are used in medicine and dentistry. Within this course it is planned that students master the techniques of synthesis and also to gain insight into the structure, properties and application of bioceramic materials. Essay aims to introduce students to the latest scientific achievements in this field by analysis of literature and scientific papers.
      The outcomeAfter successful completion of the course students are expected to master the theoretical knowledge in the field of ceramic biomaterials, methods of synthesis, characterization method and potential application in the medicine, dentistry and tissue engineering.
      Contents
      Contents of lecturesThe course introduces to the students the propertiess, structure and procedures of synthesis of bioceramic materials (sintered bioceramics, bioactive cements, bioceramic composites, controlled porous biomaterials, bioceramic coatings) applied in the fields of orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery, in dentistry and tissue engineering. The course also provides the basics of process of establishing a connection between the cell/tissue/organ with bioceramic implants as well as the biomineralization process and the influence of microstructure on the biocompatibility of bioceramic implants.
