Natural bone is made of 60% of inorganic calcium phosphate minerals. To this end, many researchers have developed synthetic bone substitutes based upon ceramics to better mimic the natural composition of bone. Ceramics have been widely used for orthopedic and dental applications, and have been used 

Ceramic setting Calcium phosphate Bone substitute 86-89 

Self-assembly RGD-based fibers Bone tissue 115 

CPCs are widely used as bone substitutes and for augmentation in orthopedic applications due to their close resemblance to the mineral component of natural bone. CPCs are a powder phase of calcium and/or phosphate salts.
