Background: Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bio ceramic material that is currently widely developed as a bone graft material. In humans, HA constitutes nearly 70% of the weight of bone and teeth. This material can be synthesized from calcium carbonate derived from various natural sources. Chicken eggshells contain approximately 90% calcium carbonate, which can be used as an alternative source for the …
In this study using beef bone and silica as specimens for the sintering process. From the sintering results obtained changes in the mechanical and physical properties of hydroxyapatite. The color of the beef bone powder changes after the sintering process. This is due to the decomposition of organic substance in bone powder where the beef bones before sintering at room temperature are yellowish…
