Respuesta ósea al implante de espuma de hidroxiapatita (HA-02). Estudio experimental en conejos

HA-02 foam behaved in this study as a biocompatible material, eliciting only a mild inflammatory response in the first two weeks. It also proved to be osteoconductive, facilitating bone formation within the foam, as well as bioabsorbable, because it allowed partial resorption by phagocytic cell mechanisms without originating intermediate products. Therefore, hydroxyapatite foam can be considered a potential substitute for bone tissue.
