Fabrication and biological evaluation of hydroxyapatite ceramics including bone minerals

Biological apatite present in the bones and teeth of mammals contains various minerals, which create numerous nanoscale defects in their crystal structures. Substitution of the ions of these minerals into hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2; HAp] induces considerable strain and various defects in the cr...
