Design and development of hydroxyapatite/zirconia (HA/ZrO2) scaffold for guided bone regeneration

Highly porous scaffold made of bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) have been widely investigated for guided bone regeneration, however their inferior mechanical strength limits their clinical use to non load bearing applications. In this study we have synthesised HA/ zirconia (ZrO2) mixtures (5,...
