abstract：:The ultimate goal of implantation of biomaterials in the skeleton is to reach full integration of the non-living implant with the living bone. The biomaterial can be used much as a bone graft, resorbing or dissolving as bone growth occurs, and the end result is a new remoulded bone. Calcium pyrophosphate, Ca2P2O7, is ...
