Abstract

Since the beginning of the 20th century, tissue engineering has developed multiple related studies in response to the search for biomaterials similar to bone tissue, trying to find a solution to implantation failures. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most important and scientifically supported biomaterials that exists. The objective of this article is to review basic concepts and the evidence about the use of HA coating in dentistry. The application of HA has shown excellent results, in both in vitro and in vivo environments, becoming an excellent alternative as an aid in healing, showing optimal results regarding bone quality, for periodontal therapies, sinus elevations or implant restorations.

The aim of this article is to review basic concepts and evidence around the use of HA as a coating in dentistry.
