Biomaterials are natural or artificial materials that replace part of a living system or are used to work in contact with living tissue. In addition to their usage in replacing diseased or damaged organs or tissues, spinal stabilizers are used to correct some body functions, biomaterials such as contact lenses, pacemakers, hearing aids are used to increase the functionality of some organs. Biomaterials are used in many areas such as surgical thread, screws, skin implantation, silicones, braces and dental implants. While biomaterials continue its technological development, it appears that biocompatibility is very important. Adverse conditions may occur when biomaterials used in medical applications come into contact with living tissue for a certain or continual period of time. To overcome these problems and to produce biocompatible biomaterials is a multidisciplinary field of study. In this study, basic biomaterial types, their use in medical applications and the importance of the production of future new-generation biocompatible biomaterials are indicated.
