Article Synopsis
- Researchers created hydroxyapatite (HAp) bone grafts using calcium phosphate cement and studied how porosity and crystallinity influenced their ability to support bone growth and dissolve in the body.
- They found that higher porosity and surface area led to more protein adsorption, although initial cell attachment did not vary much with changes in porosity or crystallinity.
- In lab tests simulating conditions in the body, increased porosity and surface area resulted in greater solubility of the HAp blocks, indicating their potential for use as bioresorbable bone grafts.
