Carbonate apatite (CO(3)Ap) is a bioceramic material with excellent properties for bone and dentin regeneration. To enhance its mechanical strength and bioactivity, silica calcium phosphate composites (Si-CaP) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) were added to CO(3)Ap cement. The aim of this study was...
