Biomaterials for the fabrication of prostheses for medical applications used for the replacement or reparation or augmentation of diseased or damaged body parts are discussed. They are bioinert (e.g. metals, organic polymers, alumina/zirconia ceramics) and bioactive (bioglass, glass-ceramic, hydroxyapatite ceramics). Bioactive biphasic composites or bioactive coatings on the implants provide the combination of bioactivity and mechanical strength for the implanted prostheses. Most of them are used as bone substituents, or for skeletal fixation. The bioceramic or bioglass coatings on metallic or ceramic substrates have been applied to modify the surface of the implant and to stabilize it shortly after the implantation.
