Abstract
Bioactive calcium phosphate apatite ceramic has excellent biocompability for failed bone tissue replacements. However, its low strength and fracture toughness restrict application of porous calcium hydroxyapatite ceramics implants. Another important problem is the bioactivity and compatibility regulations. Solution of problem is composite structures formation, either with strong ceramic filler, or with active tissue components. Review is presented concerning activities in the field of developments the ceramic composites based on calcium hydroxyapatite. Formation on composite structures such as hydroxyapatite — zirconia improve the mechanical behaviour. The characteristics of composites with collagen have been investigated. Preliminary tests results and existing problems are discussed.
