Abstract

Currently, there are large numbers of commercial biomaterials that are available for therapeutic and regenerative purposes. A general overview of these biomaterials reveals that they are not officially certified for application in patients with religious concern. For example, the majority of these biomaterials are of #animal origin (i.e., porcine) or have been prepared using animal derivatives. From the religious aspect, use of these biomaterials is strictly prohibited in some faiths such as Islam and Hinduism, however, this issue is largely neglected. Simultaneously, the patients are becoming more educated demanding the assurance that use of health products do not counteract with their faiths. This paper highlights the possible impact of the patient faith on biomaterials application with respect to the informed consent and #medical ethics, indicating the need for new strategies to fill this gap.Nowadays, hundreds of biomedical and pharmaceutical products are available for therapeutic applications in orthopedic, trauma, maxillofacial, and dental fields (Figure 1). Selection and application of these biomaterials are influenced by different factors such as the purpose of treatment, the #biomaterials properties, and the patient factors, i.e., economy, age, and religion [1].
