Abstract

Calcium phosphate ceramics like hydroxyapatite and beta -tricalcium phosphate (beta -TCP) possess mineral composition that closely resembles that of the bone. They can be good bone substitutes due to their excellent biocompatibility. Biphasic calcium phosphate is a bone substitute which is a mixture of hydroxyapatite and beta -tricalcium phosphate in fixed ratios. Studies have demonstrated the osteoconductive potential of this composition. This paper highlights the clinical use of biphasic calcium phosphate as a bone substitute in periapical surgery.

Keywords: Biphasic calcium phosphate; bone substitute; hydroxyapatite; osteoconductive; periapical surgery; β-tricalcium phosphate
