| THE COMPOSITE OF HYDROXYAPATITE WITH COLLAGEN AS A BONE GRAFTING MATERIAL | |
| Ashok Bhagat Singh, Swapan Majumdar | |
Bone substitutes allow repair mechanisms to take place, by providing a permanent or ideally temporary porous device (scaffold) that reduces the size of the defect which needs to be mended. This paper aims to discuss the hydroxyapatite composites (e.g., hydroxyapatite plus collagen derivatives) that have been developed to mimic biochemical and biomechanical properties of natural bone in order to enhance osteointegration and graft healing for potential biomedical applications. |
