Case contents: |
Implants, Structure and forms of biomaterials (glass, ceramics, glass-ceramics, polymers, composites, thin layers, metals-steels; powder, grains, threads, foam, polycrystals). Properties of biomaterials (technical, chemical stability in the aqueous medium, chemical and biological reactions in the physiological environment, surface reactions, bioactivity). Types of biomaterials. Bioinerable, bioactive, biodegradable materials. Therapeutic biomaterials. Dental supplies. Radioactive biomatrials (glass, metals in various forms). Application and technological development of biomaterials. Biologically oriented methods for tissue restoration. Tissue engineering-introduction. Materials used for the substrate in tissue engineering, their properties. Testing in vitro, in vivo, bioreactors. Regenerative bioactive materials. The interaction of biomaterials with man's microbial flora and the formation of biofilms. Bacterial species associated with the formation of biofilms on biomaterials. Immune response to the formation of biofilms. Biomaterial infections – ubiquittal challenge: significance, detection methods, diagnostics, treatments and prevention. Antimicrobial resistance in biofilm. In vivo models for research into biofilm-related infections.

Learning outcomes: competences, knowledge, skills that the subject develops: |
1. Explain the importance of knowing the composition, structure and properties of biomaterials as well as the conditions of preparation of biomaterials due to the impact of preparation on the physical and chemical properties of biomaterials. 2. Identify basic chemical and biological processes on the surface of bioinert, bioactive and biodegradable materials. 3. Assess the suitable properties of biomaterials for use. 4. Analyse biofilm testing models as well as microbial biofilm addiction and biomaterial infections. 5. Valorize methods of biofiome detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of biomaterial infection.
