Abstract

This research explored a new trend in biomaterials science. The bone-mimicking effect of calcium phosphate on chitosan composite scaffolds was evaluated. Chitosan with 2% calcium phosphate was found to have suitable bone-mimicking performance for maxillofacial bone tissue engineering.

Keywords: Maxillofacial tissue engineering; bone remodeling; calcium phosphate; chitosan; mimicking; scaffolds.
