    Calcium phosphate materials are used in many medical and dental applications. Advanced Synthesis and Medical Applications of Calcium Phosphates covers the structure, chemistry, synthesis, and properties of both natural and synthetic calcium-based biomaterials and details a variety of medical applications.

    • Depicts the latest advances in using calcium phosphates in bone regeneration and tissue engineering
    • Includes the latest generation of regenerative biomaterials with an integrated perspective combining both research and clinical issues
    • Provides an understanding of the clinical targets and requirements for regenerative medicine

    Detailing fundamentals through applications, this book helps biomaterials researchers to better understand the clinical targets and requirements for use of these materials for optimal synthesis and development.
