Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is widely used in biomaterial fabrication by virtue of its unique crystal structure and low environmental loading. Although various ion molecule substitution methods into the OCP unit lattice have been introduced, it remains unclear which factors mechanisms dominate process. Experimental studies indicated that Na alkali metal ions are substituted at P3 PO4 conjugated...

Bone grafts used in alveolar bone regeneration can be categorized into autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic bones, depending on their origin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect a commercialized octacalcium phosphate (OCP)-based substitute material (Bontree®) vitro, vivo, clinical cases. Material characterization Bontree® granules (0.5 mm 1.0 mm) using scanning ele...
