Octacalcium Phosphate Biomaterials: Past, Present and Future is a comprehensive study of octacalcium phosphate (OCP), a next generation biomaterial for bone regeneration.
By focusing both on fundamental research and the use of OCP as a scaffold material, this book explores its potential to deliver improved clinical results.
Early chapters in the book discuss OCP's effects on bone cell activity, cellular interactions and their role in bone formation, repair and replacement.
Later chapters cover topics such as drug delivery, synthesis methodologies and future analysis techniques.
This will be an invaluable and unique resource for researchers, clinicians, students and industrialists in the area of orthopedics and dentistry.
OCP is known to be a pre-cursor to hydroxyapatite in the human biomineralization process that forms bone and tooth enamel.
Research studies that have emerged in recent years suggest OCP's tremendous potential as a bioactive material.
