What are the advantages of Calcium Phosphate bio materials ?
Calcium phosphate bio-materials are devoid of local or systemic toxicity, do not elicit inflammatory or foreign body response, can become functionally integrated with natural bone with no fibrous tissue encapsulation and cause no alteration of normal bone minerlization process. Also they become bonded to bone by apparently natural bone cementing mechanism. Calcium phosphate bio-material provide a physical matrix suitable for deposition of new bone and can display growth guiding properties causing bone to extend its growth into areas it would not otherwise occupy. It also has the ability to maintain bone bulk in areas where bone resorption normally takes place.
