| Abstract | Dense HA/TCP bioceramics were immersed in pure bovine serum, rabbit serum and dog serum to observe apatite formation. Deposited crystals were examined using SEM. Results showed that some needle-like crystals formed on surface of sterilized HA/TCP, and needle crystals developed into sheet crystals and stick crystals after ceramics were immersed in bovine serum and rabbit serum respectively. The growth of crystals was maybe affected by the content of calcium, various kinds of albumen and alkaline phosphatase in different serums and the different pH of serum. |
