Zusammenfassung:The outstanding properties of graphene materials rely on an exceptional two‐dimensional honeycombed lattice. The lattice allows for electrical, thermal, and mechanical reinforcement effects when applied to the ceramic matrix. The biocompatibility of the material allows for providing multifunctional bioceramics applications. However, the potential of graphene lies in its ability to be homogenously distributed as part of a ceramic matrix. Therefore, appropriate processing techniques are important for attaining desired graphene ceramic properties applicable for regenerative biomedical purposes. This article provides an inclusive review of the current knowledge of advanced graphene‐based ceramics for bone regenerative engineering. In this review, the opportunities and challenges in utilizing graphene materials in combination with ceramics suitable for applications in load‐bearing bone defects are discussed.
