Materials based on calcium orthophosphates have been developed to crystallize spontaneously and directly from the melt. The main crystalline phase consists of a new synthesized chemical of formula Ca2KNa(PO4)2. This compound crystallizes in a very wide range of chemical compositions as shown. Furthermore, the solubility was tested and compared with that of self-prepared alpha-tricalcium phosphate ceramics and commercial products of hydroxyapatite ceramics and surface-modified alpha-tricalcium phosphate ceramics. The results show that new materials containing the compound Ca2KNa(PO4)2 had the highest solubility in comparison with other tested materials.

Calcified tissues in living organisms, such as bone, dentin, and enamel, often require surgical intervention for treatment. However, advances in regenerative medicine have increased the demand for materials to assist in regenerating these tissues. Among the various forms of calcium phosphate (CaP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP)-particularly its α-TCP form-stands out due to its high solubility and efficient calcium release, making it a promising candidate for bone regeneration applications.

Purpose: To perform vertical bone augmentation on rat parietal bone by coating the inner surface of dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) domes with hydroxyapatite (HA) using Erbium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) pulsed laser deposition in a rat model.
Methods: The d-PTFE plate surface, α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) coating, and HA coating were measured using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction to confirm the replacement of α-TCP with HA via high-pressure steam sterilization. The dome was glued to the center of the rat parietal bone and closed with periosteal and epithelial sutures.

Article Synopsis
- Tricalcium silicate (TCS)-based bioactive cements show potential for endodontic applications due to their hydraulic properties, but traditional options face challenges like poor handling and limited osteoinductivity.
- A new injectable biocomposite made from TCS, α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was developed to improve these properties, achieving over 93% injectability and better anti-washout capabilities.
- The addition of 10% α-TCP enhances compressive strength and accelerates setting time, while also promoting cell viability and osteogenesis through increased ALP activity and collagen production, making this biocomposite a promising candidate for dental applications.

The process of osteointegration depends significantly on the surface roughness, structure, chemical composition, and mechanical characteristics of the coating. In this regard, an important direction in the development of medical materials is the development of new techniques of surface modification and the creation of bioactive ceramic coatings. Calcium-phosphate materials based on hydroxyapatite have been proposed as bioactive ceramic coatings on titanium implants for the effective acceleration of bone tissue healing.

Novel calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) that can be resorbed into the human body need to be developed. One approach for improving bioresorbability is reducing the content of calcium phosphate in CPCs; however, this may induces difficulties in setting the cement and increases the risk of decay. Adding bioresorbable polymers to a liquid solution can shorten the setting time and inhibit decay during setting.
