Introduction Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is commonly used in biomaterials engineering and regenerative medicine as it has the same crystal structure and comparable composition to biological apatite.
Therefore, implants containing HA ceramics on titanium substrate are designed to have favourable biological properties [3].
