This article reports a physicochemical comparison of synthetic and biological Hydroxyapatite
(HAp). Eight samples were separated into two groups: bio and commercial hydroxyapatite
(bio-HAp and commercial-HAp). The bio-HAp group containing defat, alkaline, and calcined
samples taken from bovine bone were obtained by using three different treatments, in order
to establish their effect on the final product quality. The commercial-HAp group, from different
sources: NIST, sigma, apafill G, coralina, and biograft, were analyzed and compared with the …
