| abstract |
This invention relates to processes for the preparation of biomaterials, in particular foams and solid structures, suitable for bone surgery and odontology, bone regeneration, bone defect fillings, stabilizing bone fractures, coating of prostheses or implants, fixing of prostheses or implants, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds, and to the biomaterials obtained thereby. Besides that, this invention, also relates to self-setting calcium phosphate foams which may be obtained by process comprising the step of simultaneously mixing and foaming of a powder phase and a liquid phase. |
