description: This book presents material on functional biomaterials, synthetic or natural materials and systems that perform functions in the human body. Topics of interest include dental ceramics, joint replacement, biomaterials, and recent innovations in biomechanics and bioengineering. Specific subjects discussed include analysis of the stem-sleeve interface in a modular titanium alloy femoral component for total hip replacement, contact damage of model dental multilayers, laser microtexturing of implant surfaces for enhanced tissue integration, functional performance of orthopedic bone cement, and a new statistical biomechanics modeling of physical and biochemical parameters of bone strength. Much of the material originated at a November 2000 symposium held at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
