Abstract:The bone formation response of ceramic bone graft materials can be improved by modifying the material's surface and composition. A unique dual‐phase ceramic bone graft material with a nanocrystalline, hydroxycarbanoapatite (HCA) surface and a calcium carbonate core (TrelCor®—Biogennix, Irvine, CA) was characterized through a variety of analytical methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the TrelCor surface (magnification 100–100,000X) clearly demonstrated a nanosized crystalline structure covering the en… Show more
