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 …

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been considered to be one of the most preferred scaffold
materials among many in the last decade for the bone tissue engineering. Be it prosthetic …

Metallic implants sometimes fail in orthopedic surgeries due to insufficient bio-functionality,
implant-associated infections, poor osteointegration due to high inertness (Ti, Co–Cr …

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 …

High-performance bioceramics are required for preventing failure and prolonging the life-
time of bone grafting scaffolds and osseous implants. The proper identification and …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a biocompatible polymer widely used for biomedical
applications. Because it is biologically inert, bioactive phases, such as nano-hydroxyapatite …

In this work, the salicylic acid-pretreated artificial converter slag—an end product of the steel-
making process containing rich Fe and Ca—was successfully utilized for in-situ fabrication of …

Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are widely accepted biomaterials able to promote the
regeneration of bone tissue. However, the regeneration of critical-sized bone defects has …

Therapeutic metal ions are a family of metal ions characterized by specific biological
properties that could be exploited in bone tissue engineering, avoiding the use of expensive …

Till date, a variety of efforts have been made to develop the essential properties of
hydroxyapatite as the most promising bioactive ceramic used in a broad spectrum of clinical …
