reviewOpen accessSenior authorCorrespondingRegenerative properties are different in every human tissue. Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of dental implants, bone regenerative procedures called augmentations are sometimes crucial in order to perform a successful dental procedure. Tissue engineering allows for controlled growth of alveolar and periodontal tissues, with use of scaffolds, cells, and signalling molecules. By modulating the patient's tissues, it can positively influence poor integration and healing, resulting in repeat…

articleOpen accessSenior authorAbstract Hydroxyapatite is one of the most widely used materials in biomedical applications in reparative and regenerative medicine. Doping of nanosized hydroxyapatite improves its bioactive properties, and thus, the synthesis of different types of nanohydroxyapatite with antimicrobial activity is a perspective route of modern materials science. In this study, undoped hydroxyapatite (HAp), hydroxyapatite doped with silver (HAp with 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mol% Ag + ions), and silicate-substituted hydroxy…
Application of Nanohydroxyapatite in Medicine—A Narrative Review
Molecules · 2024-11-28 · 11 citations
reviewOpen accessThis review is an extensive collection of the latest literature describing the current knowledge about nanohydroxyapatite in a comprehensive way. These are hydroxyapatite particles with a size below 100 nm. Due to their size, the surface area to mass ratio of the particles increases. They are widely used in medicine due to their high potential in regenerative medicine, as a carrier of various substances, e.g., in targeted therapy. The aim of this article is to present the biological and physicoc…
