Calcium phosphate compounds form the inorganic phases of our mineralised tissues such as bone and teeth, playing an important role in hard tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In dentistry and oral care products, hydroxyapatite (HA) is a stable

The synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and its applications in heterogeneous catalysis are abridged in view of its demonstrated prowess and utility in chemical, material and industrial industry. This overview documents the strengths and weaknesses of the

Biomaterials have been gaining increasing importance owing to their applicability to ageing populations and treatment of diseases. Research on developing new biomaterials or manipulating the structure and composition of existing biomaterials has been

This chapter introduces hydroxyapatite (HA) as a key bioactive material primarily used in regeneration of bone. HA is a synthetic ceramic material similar to biological apatite (osseous mineral), which is the mineral component of bone. Biological apatite

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is similar to natural bone regarding composition, and its structure favors in biomedical applications. Continuous research and progress on HA nanomaterials (HA-NMs) have explored novel fabrication approaches coupled with functionalization

Hydroxyapatite is a specific calcium phosphate phase that can occur naturally or can be synthesized using a variety of methods. Importantly it is similar in chemical and phase composition to the inorganic mineral component of bone and teeth. It has therefore

Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a well-known biomaterial, has witnessed a remarkable evolution over the years, transforming from a simple biocompatible substance to an advanced functional material with a wide range of applications. This abstract provides an overview

Hydroxyapatite is widely known as bioceramics with excellent biocompatibility. Also, hydroxyapatite has biodegradable properties that can support the bone therapy process and can be applied as a bone scaffolds. In recent years, the preparation of hydroxyapatite
