“…It is used in various applications such as bone tissue engineering, implantology, surgery, periodontol-ogy, esthetics, and prevention, for example, as a coating material for titanium implants in dentistry also showing antibacterial activity, as a grafting material, or as material with remineralizing potential [105,106]. It can be isolated from bio-waste materials, for example, Fariborz et al [107] used the ball milling process after annealing waste pigeon bones at 850 • C followed by cold-pressing of the NPs and resintering at 850, 950, 1050, and 1150 • C for nHA preparation. The average particle size of the prepared nHA was in the range of 50-250 nm; the Ca/P ratio (sintering at 1050 • C) was 1.7; hardness and compressive strength of sintered nHA were increased to 47.57 MPa and 3.7 GPa, respectively.…”
