Abstract
The idea behind this introductory chapter is to help the reader to get a brief overview of different biomaterials, devices, and their applications in various treatment options toward bone disorders. It is written in a language that can be understood by most researchers even if they do not have much of a background in materials science or bone biology. The biomaterials field is very dynamic, interdisciplinary, and almost every day some forms of new discoveries are being made by researchers around the world. However, our aim toward this chapter was to present materials that are more mature and have seen the light of clinical success. We have briefly discussed both synthetic and natural materials used in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. We have highlighted some of their advantages as well as potential concerns. Finally, a brief narrative is presented emphasizing clinical applications of different biomaterials.
