Calcium Phosphate Bioceramics for dental bone calcium phosphates Industry - Medical / Health Care

Dental bone calcium phosphates are used  as a bone grafting materials to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal or oral/maxillofacial defects.  These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone.  Typical applications are periodontal/infrabony defects, ridge augmentation, extraction sites (implant preparation/placement), sinus lifts, and cystic cavities.  As in orthopedic applications, specifically sized porous calcium phosphate granules provide a scaffold for bone incorporation that is critical for support of teeth by the mandible and maxilla (jaw bones).
