Nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita: preparación, caracterización y aproximación celular – Revisión

Abstract

Nanostructure syntheses have been applied to derive hydroxyapatite in nanometric scale for orthopaedic and dental implant applications due to its biocompatibility and similarity to natural apatite characteristics, becoming to a preferred material compared to hydroxyapatite in micro scale. This overview presents some of the most studied processes of obtaining nanophased hydroxyapatite, enriched with results from our group and additional and interesting information about cell-nanohydroxyapatite performance in vitro experiments.
