Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a well-known biomaterial, has witnessed a remarkable
evolution over the years, transforming from a simple biocompatible substance to an …

Use of biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications has increased in recent decades
due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, flexibility, and minimal side effects …

Maxillofacial hard tissue defects caused by trauma or infection often affect craniofacial
function. Taking the natural hard tissue structure as a template, constructing an engineered …

Hydroxyapatite is one of the most studied biomaterials in the medical and dental field,
