Additive manufacturing (AM) is a digital manufacturing technology, rapidly revolutionizing in
the medical sectors for printing of distinct body parts having intrinsic shapes and offering …

This review discusses and summarizes the recent developments and advances in the use of
biodegradable materials for bone repair purposes. The choice between using degradable …

Biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP) bioceramics have become the materials of choice in
various orthopedic and maxillofacial bone repair procedures. One of their main advantages …

With attractive research and development of biomaterials, more and more opportunities
have been brought to the treatments of human tissue repairs. The implant is usually no need …

The history of calcium phosphates in the medicine field starts in 1769 when the first
evidence of its existence in the bone tissue is discovered. Since then, the interest for calcium …

Autologous bone is used very often in the treatment of fresh fractures, delayed unions and
non-unions. Alternatives have included allografts and in recent years also demineralized …

Abstract Treatment of delayed union, malunion, and nonunion is a challenge to the
orthopaedic surgeons in veterinary and human fields. Apart from restoration of alignment …

The high brittleness and low strength of bioactive ceramics have severely restricted their
application in bone repair despite the fact that they have been regarded as one of the most …

Biphasic, triphasic and multiphasic (polyphasic) calcium orthophosphates have been sought
as biomaterials for reconstruction of bone defects in maxillofacial, dental and orthopedic …

Due to the chemical similarity to the inorganic constituents of calcified tissues of mammals,
biologically relevant calcium orthophosphates (CaPO 4) have been applied as artificial …
