The synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely studied in the field of biomaterials, due to its structural similarity with the biological bone apatite. This biomaterial guarantees implants with high bioactivity and osteoconductivity properties and consequently is successfully used as osseous tissue substitute. It has been reported that some ions have a positive influence on the HA solubility and therefore on its biological activity as a result of the change in the crystal lattice. In this ...
