calcium phosphate-based materials
Calcium phosphate-based materials are substances derived from compounds containing calcium and phosphate, naturally found in bones and teeth. They are biocompatible and mimic the mineral component of bones, making them useful in medicine for bone repair and regeneration. These materials can be shaped into scaffolds or cements that support new bone growth, helping treat fractures or dental issues. Their similarity to natural bone allows for good integration with existing tissue, promoting healing and restoring strength. Calcium phosphate-based materials are valued for their safety, effectiveness, and ability to support natural bone healing processes.
