Abstract

Calcium phosphate materials and materials based on silicon dioxide have been actively studied for more than 50 years due to their high biocompatibility and bioactivity. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate are the most known among calcium phosphate materials, and Bioglass 45S5 is the most known material in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system. Each of these materials has its application limits; however, some of them can be eliminated by obtaining composites based on calcium phosphate and bioglass. In this article, we provide an overview of the role of silicon and its compounds, including Bioglass 45S5, consider calcium phosphate materials, talk about the limits of each material, demonstrate the potential of the composites based on them, and show the other ways of obtaining composite ceramics in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system.
