23 Jul ARTIFICIAL STABILIZED COMPOSITION OF CALCIUM PHOSPHATE PHASES PARTICULARLY ADAPTED FOR SUPPORTING BONE CELL ACTIVITY
Abstract
This invention relates to a bioactive artificial sintered composition for providing a morphology capable of consistently supporting bone cell activity thereon. The composition comprises stabilized calcium phosphate phases developed by the conversion of a hydroxyapatite substance in the presence of stabilizing entities at sintering temperatures into insolubilized and stabilized tricalcium phosphate. The present invention has numerous applications in medical diagnostics for the assessment of abnormal bone cell activity as well as for medical therapeutics, including bone and dental tissue replacement and repair as well as for ex vivo bone graft tissue engineering.
