Abstract
Publisher Summary Calcium Phosphate (CaP) ceramics are widely studied for orthopedic and dental applications due to their bioactive properties. Generally, bioactive materials interact with surrounding bone, resulting in the formation of a chemical bond to this tissue (“bone-bonding”). This phenomenon of bioactivity is determined mainly by chemical factors, such as the crystal phase and molecular structure of the material, as well as physical factors, such as surface roughness and porosity. CaP ceramics are too brittle for use as bulk material under loaded conditions, which means that CaP ceramics are frequently applied as coatings to the surface of metallic implant materials to combine the mechanical strength of metals with the excellent biological properties of CaP ceramics. This chapter presents a general description of CaP coating characteristics in terms of mechanical, biological, and clinical properties and provides an overview of various fabrication techniques for the deposition of CaP coatings.
