INTRODUCTION •What is Hydroxyapatite? It is the most suitable ceramic material for hard tissue replacement implant from the point of view of Biocompatibility. It has the chemical similarity with the mineral portions of hard tissue. (e.g. Calcium + Phosphorus) Chemical formula:

Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2

•Why Hydroxyapatite is being developed? Metallic materials have various problems to be used as implant. (e.g. negative tissue reaction, wear and corrosion.) Zirconia (ZrO2) and Alumina (Al2O3) belong to Bioinert materials.

The Limitation of Hydroxyapatite

How to improve the Hydroxyapatite? 

Control of sintering temperature & atmosphere.



Manipulation of processing parameters.



Addition of additives (dopants) into the HA powder.

Ideal Sintering Additive (dopant) 

Aid densification of HA without decomposition.



No effect on Biocompatibility & Bioactive phases.



Control of grain size.



Improve the mechanical properties.

CONCLUSIONS Hydroxyapatite is suitable for fabricating the artificial teeth & bone due to its excellent biocompatibility.  Improvement on Fracture Toughness & Young’s Modulus is needed.  Cerium was found that it decreases the crystal’s size of the HA. 
