DIFFERENT RATE OF REABSORPTION
This bioactive bioceramics is composed mainly by hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta- tricalcium-phosphate (B-TCP), amongst other minerals. The balanced association of these components allows an equilibrium between the time of reabsorption of the material by the organism, the bone reconstitution, and the mechanic resistance maintenance, since there is a more stable phase (HA), which is reabsorbed more slowly and a more soluble one (B-TCP), that is less stable and more rapidly reabsorbed rapidly reabsorbed. Thus, the doctor and the patient count on different presentations to find a specific solution for each case.
