This review focuses on calcium phosphate-based bone substitute materials that are used (or
can be used) for teeth or bone replacement, bone repair, augmentation, or regeneration …

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a material that can be converted to hydroxyapatite (HA)
under physiological environments and is considered a mineral precursor to bone apatite …

The present overview is intended to point the readers' attention to the important subject of
calcium orthophosphates. These materials are of the special significance because they …

Background Bone regeneration involves various complex biological processes. Many
experiments have been performed using biomaterials in vivo and in vitro to promote and …

It has been close to a century since calcium phosphate materials were first used as bone
graft substitutes. Numerous studies conducted in the last two decades have produced a …

Various types of grafts have been traditionally used to restore damaged bones. In the late
1960s, a strong interest was raised in studying ceramics as potential bone grafts due to their …

The design and development of novel materials for biomineralized tissues is an extremely
attractive field of research where calcium phosphates (CaPs)–based materials for …

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium
orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists …

Background: The replacement of bone by means of foreign materials was already carried
out in prehistoric times. Nowadays autogenous bone grafting is designated as the “golden …

More than a decade of intensive investigative research has shown calcium phosphate
ceramic biomaterials to be safe and effective for a variety of restorative and preservative …
