Surface modification of orthopedic and dental implants has been demonstrated to be an
effective strategy to accelerate bone healing at early implantation times. Among the different …

Biological apatites are characterised by various ionic substitutions within the HAp lattice that
are crucial for bone metabolism. The introduction of key role elements within synthetic …

This review summarizes recent and very recent work on preparing substituted
hydroxyapatites. Ease of atomic doping or substitution in apatite opens this mineral up for a …

At present hydroxyapatite (HA) is been extensively investigated for biomedical applications,
largely as a result of its similarity in composition to the mineral portion of bone. Although HA …

Strontium-containing hydroxyapatite (SrHA) is a promising material for bone repair and bone
replacement due to the similar inorganic components with natural bone. In this study, the …

Objectives Our goal is to review design strategies for the fabrication of calcium phosphate
ceramic scaffolds (CPS), in light of their transient role in bone tissue engineering and …

Ionic substitutions have been proposed as a tool to improve the biological performance of
calcium phosphate based materials. This review provides an overview of the recent results …

Interest in strontium (Sr) has persisted over the last three decades due to its unique
mechanism of action: it simultaneously promotes osteoblast function and inhibits osteoclast …

Degeneration, trauma, and tumor resection are the main causes of bone loss (Owen et al., J.
Biomed. Mater. Res. B Appl. Biomater. 106 (6), 2493-2512 (2018), Korkusuz et al.,(2014) …

Reconstructive surgery is presently struggling with the problem of infections located within
implantation biomaterials. Of course, the best antibacterial protection is antibiotic therapy …
