This Review is focused on the growing interest brought to phosphorus-containing organic materials for applications in the biomedical field, mainly because of their properties such as biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and protein adsorption resistance. It mainly describes relevant works achieved on these materials for various applications: dentistry, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. Special attention was given to 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) monomer as the latter appeared of great importance because of its biomimetic structure due to the presence of the phospholipid group on its structure. As a result, much research effort is currently concentrated on the development of phosphorylcholine-containing (co)polymers that represent a promising class of materials.
