Abstract :Biomaterials are listed in advanced materials that have high biocompatibility which can easily adapt to the system in which they are implanted without leaving any adverse reactions and side effects. Due to their interesting properties such as biocompatibility, bioactivity, degradability, long-term stability, and many other important properties, all four main types of biomaterials (Bioceramics, Metallic biomaterials, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites) can be used in the medical field, either for medical treatment by implanting them in the human body, or the manufacturing of advanced medical devices. In this review, a comprehensive introduction to biomaterials has been mentioned. Also, the general properties of biomaterials are explained especially these interesting properties that are helpful to use in the medical field. And finally, the medical applications of each of the different types of biomaterials have been reviewed.
