Abstract
Fourteen different synthetic or biological bone substitution materials were characterised by high-resolution X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. Thus, the main parameters chemical composition, crystallinity, and morphology were determined. The results are compared with natural bone samples. The materials fall into different classes: Chemically treated bone, calcined bovine bone, algae-derived hydroxyapatite, synthetic hydroxyapatite, peptide-loaded hydroxyapatite, and synthetic β-TCP ceramics.
