This volume contains papers corresponding to communications presented at 30th symposium and annual meeting of the international society for ceramics in medicine (iscm, october 26‒29, 2018, nagoya, japan) and it continues the tradition of the bioceramics series offering, generally to young researchers, the ability to publish the work they are eager to present to the community of specialists participating in the meeting. The originality of the bioceramics series is that the papers are available before the meeting to allow deeper, more detailed discussions than those occurring in classical meetings where exchanges are often hampered by the limited time devoted to presentations. These papers might not be perfect but we believe that the basis for discussions they provide is irreplaceable.
