“…In addition, the crystalline nature of alumina makes it insoluble at room temperature in regular chemical reagents [ 386 ]. Alumina has been used in many fabrications of artificial implants since it was inserted into an artificial femur head in the 1970s [ 387 ]. Pure and densified alumina, α-Al 2 O 3 (corundum), was the first ceramic material used in the biomedical field for dental restorations, cochlear implants, and load-bearing hip prostheses [ 388 ].…”

One of the most important ideas ever produced by the application of materials science to the medical field is the notion of biomaterials. The nanostructured biomaterials play a crucial role in the development of new treatment strategies including not only the replacement of tissues and organs, but also repair and regeneration. They are designed to interact with damaged or injured tissues to induce regeneration, or as a forest for the production of laboratory tissues, so they must be micro-environmentally sensitive. The existing materials have many limitations, including impaired cell attachment, proliferation, and toxicity. Nanotechnology may open new avenues to bone tissue engineering by forming new assemblies similar in size and shape to the existing hierarchical bone structure. Organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials are increasingly used for bone tissue engineering applications because they may allow to overcome some of the current restrictions entailed by bone regeneration methods. This review covers the applications of different organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials in the field of hard tissue engineering.
