Two Oceans Aquarium, Cape Town, South Africa, 10-12 January 2011This presentation addresses the replacement and repair of bone. There are four types of biomaterials; namely biotoxic, bioinert, bioactive and ioresorbable. The most abundant inorganic mineral in bone is hydroxyapatite, which is a good candidate for synthetic bone. The following problems were addressed in this presentation: 1) Bioceramics are not resorbed by osteoclasts as intended, 2) Osteoblasts are not recruited to deposit new bone, 3) Most bioceramics still macro-structured while natural occurring crystals are nano-structured, 4) Bioceramics’ surface feature for biomineralisation is unclear, and 5) Fundamentals must be explored to facilitate breakthroughs for clinical biointeractive materials with novel physical, chemical & biological functions.enBone restructuringNovel nano-calcium phosphateBone repairCell activityBiomaterialsBioceramicsCell deathDiseasesConference PresentationWepener, I., Richter, W., & Joubert, A.
