Development and characterization of 5% mol Zn bioceramic in granular form

Development and characterization of 5% mol Zn bioceramic in granular form

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is capable of accepting substitute ions within its lattice, including zinc ions. Zinc is a trace element that activates the osteogenesis of osteoblastic cells and therefore plays an important role in the activity of alkaline phosphatase enzyme. The purpose of this work was to pro...
