## Abstract Hydroxyapatite/soluble calcium phosphate composites (HAp/SCaP) are novel HApโbased materials with enhanced solubility that have been developed by annealing HAp in a vacuum. This study compared the effects of HAp and HAp/SCaP on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and mineralizati
## Abstract Polycaprolactone (PCL), a semicrystalline linear resorbable aliphatic polyester, is a good candidate as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering, due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, the poor mechanical properties of PCL impair its use as scaffold for hard tissue reg
## Abstract The selective laser sintering (SLS) technique was used to manufacture hydroxyapatiteโreinforced polyethylene and polyamide composites as potential customized maxillofacial implants. __In vitro__ tests were carried out to assess cellular responses, in terms of cell attachment, morphology
