Abstract

Biomaterials are natural or synthetic materials used to fulfill or support the functions of living tissues in the human body. Implants, on the other hand, refer to inanimate materials placed inside the body and living tissues. Implants are also used to replace the functions of teeth and other bones in the body. In this study, first, the structure and mechanical properties of 208 bones in the body were examined. Then, the requirements of biomaterials used in implant applications were criticized. Finally, the properties of titanium and its alloys, one of the metallic biomaterials, were investigated, and the focus was on how these alloys were produced using powder metallurgy.
