The inorganic part of hard tissues (bones and teeth) of mammals consists of calcium
phosphate, mainly of apatitic structure. Similarly, most undesired calcifications (ie those …

Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials
always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of …

Magnesium has been suggested as a revolutionary biodegradable metal for use as an
orthopaedic material. As a biocompatible and degradable metal, it has several advantages …

Objective: The aim of the present review was to evaluate the bone integration efficacy of
recently developed and marketed oral implants as well as experimental surface alterations …

Calcium phosphate bioceramics are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications and
porous scaffolds made of them are serious candidates in the field of bone tissue …

The driving force and nucleation rate of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) precipitation in simulated
body fluid (SBF) were analyzed based on the classical crystallization theory. SBF …

The biological fixation between the dental implant surfaces and jaw bones should be
considered a prerequisite for the long-term success of implant-supported prostheses. In this …

Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate apatites constitute the main inorganic part of hard
tissues, and a growing focus is devoted to prepare synthetic analogs, so-called “biomimetic” …

To facilitate patient healing in injuries and bone fractures, metallic implants have been in
use for a long time. As metallic biomaterials have offered desirable mechanical strength …

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) increasingly afflicts our aging population. One third of
our elderly have echocardiographic or radiological evidence of calcific aortic valve sclerosis …
