Medical geology is a new interdisciplinary science that studies the connection between geological elements and human health. Its subject of research is complex, and experts from various fields and scientific domains, including geosciences, collaborate on it. Some minerals' unique and exceptional physicochemical properties make them ideal for a variety of medical applications, including the formulation of pharmaceutical drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, the manufacture of dental cement and moulds in dentistry, immobilization by fractures or surgical procedures in traumatology, and bone grafts or implant construction in maxillofacial surgery.
