Hydroxyapatite and Fluorapatite in Conservative Dentistry and Oral Implantology—A Review
Calcium phosphate, due to its similarity to the inorganic fraction of mineralized tissues, has played a key role in many areas of medicine, in particular, regenerative medicine and orthopedics. It has also found application in conservative dentistry and dental surgery, in particular, as components o...
