General description

Hydroxyapatite(HAP) is an osteoconductive bioceramic material which has uniqueability to form direct bonds with living tissues. It can be easily prepared byvarious techniques such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, multiple emulsion, biomimeticdeposition, and electrodeposition.

Application

Hydroxyapatite can be used as:
  • An implant material for bone substitute due to its chemical similarity to the inorganic component of bone and osteo inductive properties.
  • A vehicle for gene and drug delivery because of its encapsulation capacity and affinity to several drugs and proteins.
  • A pH responsive particulate emulsifier.

Features and Benefits

  • Biocompatible
  • Osteoconductive
  • Stable under physiological conditions
  • High mechanical strength

Pyrophosphate ions are both inhibitors of HA formation and substrates for phosphatase enzymes. Unlike polyphosphates their hydrolysis results simultaneously in the complete loss of mineral formation inhibition and a localised elevation in orthophosphate ion concentration. Despite recent advances in our
