Fabrication of a Hard Tissue Replacement Using Natural Hydroxyapatite Derived from Bovine Bones by Thermal Decomposition Method

Abstract

Background: For the treatment of bone defects that exceed the critical size of the injury, several therapies have been investigated. Thermal decomposition method is suggested for extraction of natural hydroxyapatite bioceramic (HA). This technique in comparison with other methods of producing HA, has less complexity and greater economic efficiency.
