A full compilation of Salvador De Aza works on biomedical materials is a huge task beyond the aim of this paper; instead it is intended to stand out De Aza's thoughts and leadership in the field of Bioceramics and to pay tribute to his memory. The most outstanding works of Professor Salvador De Aza related to Bioceramics, from the point of view of the authors, are commented and discussed. Topics the authors chose among many other De Aza's works on biomedical materials are: The prediction and demonstration of bioactivity in pseudo-wollastonite ceramics; the use of phase diagrams to design bulk-bioactive ceramics with eutectic microstructures; the relationship between bioactivity and microstructure in ceramic biomaterials; and the studies on the polymorphic phase transitions in tricalcium phosphate. Keywords: Bioceramics, Bioeutectic, Wollastonite, Pseudowollastonite, Tricalcium Phosphate, Microstructure, Polymorphic Transformation Las principales contribuciones de Salvador de Aza a las BiocerámicasUna recopilación completa de la obra de Salvador De Aza sobre materiales biomédicos es una tarea enorme más allá del objetivo de este trabajo, que está destinado a destacar sus enfoques y liderazgo en el campo de las Biocerámicas y rendir merecido tributo a su memoria. Para ello se discuten y comentan aquellos trabajos del Profesor Salvador De Aza sobre Biocerámicas que a juicio de los autores resultan más sobresalientes. Entre muchos otros trabajos de De Aza sobre materiales biomédicos, los autores han elegido los siguientes tópicos: la predicción y demostración de la bioactividad de las cerámicas de pseudo-wollastonita; el uso de diagramas de fase para el diseño de materiales bioactivos en masa con microestructura eutéctica; y sus estudios sobre la transición polimorfica de fases en el fosfato tricálcico.
