METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN OSTEOINDUCTIVE CALCIUM PHOSPHATE AND PRODUCTS THUS OBTAINED

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing an osteoinductive calcium phosphate material, the method comprising the steps of providing a sintered calcium phosphate starting material having a surface topography consisting of calcium phosphate grains, subjecting the sintered calcium phosphate starting material to a hydrothermal treatment of between 125-150°C for a duration sufficient to change calcium phosphate grains on the surface of the starting material into calcium phosphate needles.
