The aim of this article is to review the history, structure, properties and clinical applications of these materials, whether they are in the form of bone cements, paste, scaffolds, or coatings. Major analytical techniques for characterization of CaPs, in vitro and in vivo tests, and the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and international standards from CaP coatings on orthopedic and dental endosseous implants, are also summarized, along with the possible effect of sterilization on these materials. CaP coating technologies are summarized, with a focus on electrochemical processes. Theories on the formation of transient precursor phases in biomineralization, the dissolution and reprecipitation as bone of CaPs are discussed. A wide variety of CaPs are presented, from the individual phases to nano-CaP, biphasic and triphasic CaP formulations, composite CaP coatings and cements, functionally graded materials (FGMs), and antibacterial CaPs. We conclude by foreseeing the future of CaPs.

Crystallization of brushite has been carried out in sodium metasilicate (SMS) gel with and without adding ‘Sr’ as additive. In pure system, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA, CaHPO 4) or monetite and hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca 5(PO 4)3(OH)) grew along with brushite. The presence of Sr suppressed the formation of HA and enhanced the number and size of monetite crystals and changed the morphology of brushite crystals from needle shape to octopus-like shape. The samples were characterized by powder & single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X- ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analyses (TG-DTA) . Keywords: Brushite , Crystal growth, Sr additive, SEM. 1. INTRODUCTION Calcium phosphates have been studied extensively because of their occurrence in normal and pathological calcifications. Due to their excellent biocompatibility, it is a well-known bioactive material suitable for bone and hard tissue replacement [1] .

Each one is the size of your fist. A kidney has about 1 million tiny filters inside. What do kidneys do? Kidneys have 3 main jobs . They filter and remove waste from blood and make urine. kidney = = filter out wastes in urine They control the salt and water balance in your body. They produce hormones that help make red blood cells and keep your bones healthy. What happens when kidneys have a disease? Kidney disease affects all the jobs that healthy kidneys do. Kidneys with a disease do not remove waste out of your body very well. Wastes start to build up in your body. Where does the waste come from? Waste comes from the food we eat. Our food is made up of proteins, fat and starches. When we eat food, the body digests it. The blood absorbs the digested food and takes it to all the cells to be used.

Vasant1 and M. J. Joshi2 1Government Engineering College, Rajkot, Gujarat, India 2Department of Physics, Saurashtra University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India Received: July 29, 2016 Abstract. Over the past few decades, a little word with big potential has been rapidly insinuating into the world’s consciousness, nano. The nano-scale structures permit the control of funda- mental properties of the materials without changing their chemical structure. Living organisms can create amazing ways to produce high performance materials that involve not only creation of implants, replacing bone tissues and organs, but also synthesis of biologically active materials promoting the fullest restoration of tissues and maintenance of necessary functions of an organ- ism. In the biomaterial research field, nowadays, a great attention is given to bone substitute materials, particularly, calcium phosphate based bio-materials play important roles in clinical applications as it possesses high bio-compatibility and excellent ability to undergo varying de- grees of resorbability. These materials show a positive interaction with living tissue that includes differentiation of immature cells towards bone cells and also have chemical bonding to the bone along the interface, thought to be triggered by the adsorption of bone growth-mediating proteins at the bio-materials surface. In the present review paper an attempt is made to cover properties and applications of various phosphate nano bio-materials like calcium phosphate, calcium polyphosphate, calcium pyrophosphate etc over a time span right from 1920 to 2016.
