Study of the potential utilization of local Lampung Province resources in development of dental implant bioceramics

Abstract The increasing of dental implants needs to be supported by local materials’ development as a form independence for nation. With its rich natural resources, Indonesia has the potential used implant material. Dental materials can in bioceramic consisting bioactive, bioresorbable, and bioinert. One bioactive concern today is glass-ceramics from basalt rock. Meanwhile, hydroxyapatite material sourced limestone most widely bioresorbable type. These materials, basalt, are very much found Indonesia, including Lampung Province. However, use these two still little. Several methods treating Hydroxyapatite described this article review. utilization source will provide support nation welfare people.
