Synthesis and Characterization of Calcium Phosphate from Fossilized Calcareous Shells for Biomedical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcium phosphate nanostructured biomaterials are a new class of biomaterials, they are clinically promising for bone tissue reconstitution. That is because this new class of biomaterials provides new microstructural features, nanostructural, surface area and micropore grains of different conventional biomaterials capable of offering new expectations in the bone tissue reconstitution and formation process [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Studies performed in vivo by different authors indicate these bioceramics as innovative biomaterials and may, in the near future, present themselves as biomaterials which can replace conventional biomaterials autogenous, alogenous and exogenous treatments on bone structure of the human skeleton. The calcium phosphate compositions produced from natural raw materials also have being promising for biomedical applications for these new biomaterials that have physical morphology and biological characteristics very similar to the bone tissue [4, 5, 6].
