Hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxyapatite and basic calcium phosphate, is a natural mineralization of calcium apatite, but it is often highlighted in writing form that it is composed of hydroxyl and apatite.
Brief introduction of hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite is the main inorganic component of human and animal bones. It can achieve chemical bonding with body tissues at the interface, has certain solubility in the body, can release ions harmless to the body, can participate in metabolism in the body, can stimulate or induce bone hyperplasia, can promote the repair of defective tissues, and shows biological activity.
Hydroxyapatite can be used as bone substitute material, plastic and cosmetic surgery, dentistry, chromatographic purification and calcium supplement, and is widely used to make cutting-edge new materials that meet the composition of teeth or bones. In addition, hydroxyapatite is often used in bone tissue regeneration engineering because of its bone induction effect.
