abstract = "Thanks to its similarity with biological apatite found in vertebrate hard tissues,
calcium hydroxyapatite is one of the most investigated materials in bone tissue
engineering. Since biological apatite is not stoichiometric, ion substituted
hydroxyapatites are in the focus of many studies as they more closely mimic the
composition of natural bone. Although there are many investigations of the
influence of foreign ions on the structure and physico-chemical properties of ionsubstituted hydroxyapatites, there is no much information on their behaviour in
different media.
In present study, magnesium - which plays a key role in bone metabolism and
silicon - which is necessary for normal skeletal development, were used as ion
substitutes. The behaviour of Mg and Si substituted hydroxyapatite in simulated
body fluid and physiological solution was investigated by XRD, FTIR and SEM.
Obtained results confirmed great potential of these substituted hydroxyapatites for
biomedical applications.",
