In this research, effect of soaking time of a new synthesized hydroxyapatite-based bone cement in simulated body fluid (SBF) on the final phase and strength has been studied. The powder section of the cement has been synthesized by using tricalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and anhydrous dicalcium phosphate. The liquid phase of the cement consists of different concentrations of NaH2PO4.2H2O....

Titanium behaves inert in the terms of its interaction with living tissue. Titanium implants are not usually rejected by the organism, nevertheless creation of the strong implant-bone bond can be long term and difficult process. Research aimed at applications of metallic biomaterials should be therefore focused on bioactivation of the implant surface, which could lead to faster and easier accep...
