The first in vivo application of these materials was accomplished in 1920 to test tricalcium phosphate performance as a bone substitute. Since this first attempt, various COPs were investigated on animals to shed light on their effect on the healing behavior of bones. Calcium phosphate cements are currently receiving a great deal of interest especially for the hard tissue repair, augmentation, and regeneration applications due to their attractive characteristics such as biocompatibility, ease of shaping, osteoconductivity, and biodegradability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAugmentationBone repair materialsCalcium orthophosphateCellular responseHard tissue repairRegeneration applicationsBook Chapterhttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-08-102967-1.00018-9369393N/A
