The use of foreign materials to be used as implants within or outside the human body is not
new. There are reports of more than 2000 years old which indicate the replacement of bone …

Hydroxyapatite in the form of hydroxycarbonate apatite is the principal mineral component of
bone tissue in mammals. In Bioceramics, it is classed as a bioactive material, which means …

The current need for long lasting implants and bone substitutes characterized by
biocompatibility, bioactivity and mechanical properties, without the immune rejection is a …

Publisher Summary Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAP) of biologic (coral-, bovine-or marine algae-
derived) or synthetic origin are currently used for bone repair and bone regeneration in the …

The concept of biocompatible, osteoconductive material mimicking the structure of natural
bone to be used as bone graft has generated a considerable interest in recent decades. This …

Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAp) is one of the most preferred biomaterials, specifically for bone
tissue engineering. HAp is available naturally and is also chemically synthesized. The …

Bone tissue is a nanocomposite consisting of an organic and inorganic matrix, in which the
collagen component and the mineral phase are organized into complex and porous …

New materials that mimic natural bone properties, matching functional, mechanical, and
biological properties have been continuously developed to rehabilitate bone defects …

The goal of this book is to provide readers with a broad appraisal of topics in global
advancements in theoretical and experimental facts, and practical applications of nano-HAp …

The need for biomaterials is in ever-increasing demand for a plethora of applications
nowadays. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a primary constituent of bones and teeth in vertebrates …
