Abstract

Background: Despite the fact that bone reconstructive surgeries are widely practiced worldwide, the search for an ideal bone replacement matetrial is still an open issue. We aimed to provide an overview of the current status of research and developments in this field with a focus on sapphire materials; Methods: A literature search and review was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases. We searched for literature using the following keywords: bone implants; biocompatible materials; bone replacement material; sapphire implants; Results: Sapphire has a unique combination of mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics thanks to wich it has an excelent biocompatability and biointegrity.Unlike other materials it is incredibly strong and has a high endurance. The successful experience of using this material in medical instrument engineering, dentistry and cardiac surgery shows its benefits; Conclusions: We consider that sapphire is a perspective material for bone replacement implants and researchers should look in this direction.
