Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the most important bioactive ceramics because of biocompatibility and structural similarity to the mineral part of bones and teeth of broad clinical application in the field of dentistry, orthopedic and coatings are Biomaterials. The aim of this study was to construct nano-hydroxyapatite micro particles using calcite, silica and zinc oxide using ball milling, powder, thes...

Three different implants, bare Ti-6Al-4V alloy, Ti-6Al-4V alloy coated with plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (PSHA), and Ti-6Al-4V alloy coated with electrochemically deposited hydroxyapatite (EDHA), were implanted into canine trabecular bone for 6 h, 7, and 14 days, respectively. Environmental scanning electron microscopy study showed that PSHA coatings had higher bone apposition ratios than thos...

As it is known, the ceramic and metallic materials, such as Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloy serve often as a fixed dental materials of restoration in human bones, teeth and vascular stents, but they have a lot of shortcomings, such as they can result in Ni and Cr hypersusceptibility of men and ion exchange between the material and tooth, which lead the distortion and discoloration of the gingival edge an...

The present in vitro study created nanometer crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and amorphous calcium phosphate for novel orthopedic applications. Specifically, nano-crystalline HA and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized by a wet chemical process followed by hydrothermal treatment for 2 hours at 200 degrees C and 70 degrees C, respectively. Resulting particles were then pres...

We report here the successful fabrication of nano-whisker hydroxyapatite (nHA) coatings on Mg alloy by using a simple one-step hydrothermal process in aqueous solution. The nHA coating shows uniform structure and high crystallinity. Results indicate that nHA coating is promising for improving the in vitro corrosion and cytocompatibility properties of Mg-based implants and devices for bone tissu...

Nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HAP) was prepared by a wet precipitation method using Ca(NO(3)) and KH(2)PO(4) as the main material and NH(3) as the precipitator under ultrasonic irradiation. The Ca/P ratio was set at 1.67 and the pH maintained at a minimum of 9. The temperature conditions and ultrasound influences were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron...
