ABSTRACT

With the improvement in medical technology, bioceramics are used profusely as prosthetic implants in orthopedics and dentistry. Optimization of the parameters is the most important aspect when we replace a biological system with an artificial one. The modeling and simulation techniques are on the rise and have been very useful in designing implants, scaffolds, prosthetics and also in terms of analyzing complex molecular interactions. The molecular dynamics simulations using ab initio and other techniques, finite element modeling, artificial neural network, 3D printing, microchromatography, etc., are used for the purpose. This chapter throws light on some of the important areas of bioceramic modeling and simulation, and gives an idea of the processes and ways to execute the methods involved.
