We have investigated the applicability of a simple and inexpensive osteoclastic assay system using bone-like apatite-coated polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) disks. A 1 m thick apatite layer, uniform and homogeneous bone-mineral-like with no organic components, was made on PET disks using a biomimetic

## Abstract Calcium phosphate biomaterials such as calcium deficient apatite (CDA) have been contemplated as carrier for delivery of bisphosphonate in bone tissues. In the present work, we have investigated the __in vitro__ biological properties of Zoledronateβloaded CDA. CDA was loaded with zoledr
None of the currently used methods to evaluate bone resorption by osteoclasts cultured on bone substrate measures directly the amounts of degraded bone collagen, which is a direct reflection of the osteoclast "work done." We therefore propose a reliable biochemical method to evaluate the in vitro co
