Advances in Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the latest advances in developing calcium phosphate biomaterials and their applications in medicine. It covers the fundamental structures, synthesis methods, characterization methods, and the physical and chemical properties of calcium phosphate biomaterials, as well as the synthesis and properties of calcium phosphate-based biomaterials in regenerative medicine and their clinical applications. The book brings together these new concepts, mechanisms and methods in contributions by both young and “veteran” academics, clinicians, and researchers to forward the knowledge and expertise on calcium phosphate and related materials. Accordingly, the book not only covers the fundamentals but also open new avenues for meeting future challenges in research and clinical applications.

From the book reviews:
“This is an overview of the role of artificial cements, hydroxyapatite, and other biomaterials in Orthopaedics. The coverage is current and suggests that artificial materials determined to be biocompatible are very helpful in the stability, longevity, and prognosis of hip arthroplasties, fractures and other applications. … I recommend this book highly to biomechanics and orthopedic specialists.” (Joseph J.
