Abstract:Reconstruction of bone defect due to a disease or a trauma can use autograft, allograft, xenograft or synthetic bonegraft as the bone substitute material. However, in particular cases, it is required a material that has a specific resorption characteristic, beside owning excellent bioactive properties, such as β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). In this study, we report the synthesis of β-TCP particles with mesopores structure by using chitosan and aloe vera as templates. A solution of (NH4)2HPO4 was added dropwis… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
