Nowadays, strong requirements in biomaterials are still to be met, both in polymers and ceramics substitute, repair and regeneration of hard tissues defects. In this framework, tremendous efforts in the biochemistry especially biomaterials field have greatly impacted the advancement of modern biomedicine. According to development of polymer and ceramics biomaterials utilized in orthopedics and dentistry; there are three different generations, namely first generation which include bioinert materials, second generation which include bioactive and biodegradable materials and recently the third generation (materials that designed to stimulate specific molecular responses). In this review, the evolution of different polymers and ceramics most commonly used in bone regeneration is discussed, highlighting the interesting discoveries in biomaterials tissue engineering applications.
