Abstract
Different materials were implanted in muscles of dogs to study the osteoinduction of calcium phosphate biomaterials. Bone formation was only seen in calcium phosphate biomaterials with micropores, and could be found in hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic, tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite ceramic (BCP), β-TCP ceramic and calcium phosphate cement. The osteoinductive potential was different in different materials. The results indicate that osteoinduction can be a property of calcium phosphate biomaterials when they exhibit specific chemical and structural characteristics. © 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers
