Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied a new type of multiphasic material made from silica gel and different calcium phosphates with varying solubility levels to improve bone regeneration.
- They found that a certain ratio of hydroxyapatite to monetite is essential for balancing how quickly the material breaks down and how well it helps bones heal, with physical properties being more important than solubility.
- The results showed that using materials with higher hydroxyapatite/monetite ratios led to better bone regeneration and blood vessel formation in sheep with critical bone defects.
