Highlights
The number of treated skeletal deficiencies steadily increases in a global scale
An analyst for the Brookings Institution think tank, predicts the median age in Europe will increase from 37.7 years old in 2003 to 52.3 years old by 2050 while the median age of Americans will rise to only 35.4 years old
Biomaterials are mainly used in engineering new products to enhance personal appearance, which challenges the aging process
Summary
The number of treated skeletal deficiencies steadily increases in a global scale. Effective ways for bone replacements and enhancement of bone formation together with research directed to find ideal biomaterials for grafting purposes, which will feature biocompatibility and production simplicity and economy, are required. Biomaterials are of vital importance in the medical device industry, both for the discovery and development of synthetic organs, aesthetic procedures, and personal healthcare products. Biomaterials are mainly used in engineering new products to enhance personal appearance, which challenges the aging process.
