Apatite-biopolymer materials and coatings for biomedicine

Abstract

The use of materials with osteointegrating and bactericidal properties is an important dental strategy. For this purpose, methods for the manufacture of composite material in the form of a film based on hydroxyapatite and natural polymer (alginate) with the addition of inorganic ions and the subsequent saturation of drugs and active substances were developed and investigated. The main theoretical prerequisite for the use of dental implants is the fact of tissue integration with the incorporation of biologically inert materials into the jawbone.
