objective(s): the current study reports the production and biocompatibility evaluation of a ternary nanocomposite consisting of ha, pla, and gelatin for biomedical application.materials and methods: hydroxyapatite nanopowder (ha: ca10(po4)6(oh)2) was produced by burning the bovine cortical bone within the temperature range of 350-450 oc followed by heating in an oven at 800. synthesis of the te...

the in vitro dissolution of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (pha) coatings with different characteristics, produced by various spraying conditions, in a tris-buffered solution at ph 7.4 was experimentally studied through the measurement of calcium ions release with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (icp-aes), and then modeled. three coating characteristics, the crystallinity...

BACKGROUND To mimic the muscle inspired cells adhesion through proteins secretion, the lamination of collagen-hydroxyapatite nanorod (nHA) composite nanofibers has been carried out successfully on polydopamine (PDA)-coated microfibrous polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) fabrics. The lamination of collagen-hydroxyapatite composite nanofibers on polydopamine-coated microfibrous PLGA fabrics was carr...

AIM Published clinical series suggest the osteoodontokeratoprosthesis (OOKP) may have a lower extrusion rate than current synthetic keratoprostheses. The OOKP is anchored in the eye wall by autologous tooth. The authors' aim was to compare adhesion, proliferation, and morphology for telomerase transformed keratocytes seeded on calcium hydroxyapatite (the principal mineral constituent of tooth) ...

This study aims to critically summarize the literature about nano-hydroxyapatite. The purpose of this work is to analyze the benefits of using nano-hydroxyapatite in dentistry, especially for its preventive, restorative and regenerative applications. We also provide an overview of new dental materials, still experimental, which contain the nano-hydroxyapatite in its nano-crystalline form. Hydro...

This study evaluated the quantity and quality of newly formed vertical bone induced by sputtered hydroxyapatite-coated titanium implants compared with sandblasted acid-etched implants after dura mater elevation. Hydroxyapatite-coated and non-coated implants (n = 20/group) were used and divided equally into two groups. All implants were randomly placed into rabbit calvarial bone (four implants f...

The present work was focused on the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite doped with low concentrations of zinc (Zn:HAp) (0.01 < xZn < 0.05). The incorporation of low concentrations of Zn2+ ions in the hydroxyapatite (HAp) structure was achieved by co-precipitation method. The physico-chemical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform ...

Hydroxyapatite is a form of calcium phosphate that has long been used in the chromatographic separation of proteins andDNA [1]. Hydroxyapatite is best known as a crystalline material but is now available in a range of ceramic derivatives that are vastly superior in terms of flow rate, stability, and reproducibility over many cycles of use. These developments have led to a renewed interest in th...

Nano hydroxyapatite and Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite nanocomposites with various amount of Si contents (0, 2, 4 and 6 mole % as named as HS0, HS2, HS4 and HS6) were prepared via in situ hybridization method and were analyzed by XRD, FTIR, SEM and AFM techniques. Size distribution of the products demonstrated that hydroxyapatite particles size was between 2 and 53.5 nm with further mean si...
