beta-tricalcium phosphate
Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a biocompatible, synthetic material used in bone repair and regeneration. It closely resembles natural bone mineral and serves as a scaffold to support new bone growth. When implanted, β-TCP gradually breaks down and is replaced by natural bone tissue, making it useful in dental surgeries, orthopedic procedures, and tissue engineering. Its safe integration and ability to promote healing make it a valuable material in medical applications for restoring skeletal structure.
