CaPI (calcium phosphate-based ceramic) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the bioactive ceramic family, commonly derived from calcium phosphate systems used in biomedical and dental applications. This material is widely employed in orthopedic surgery, dental implants, and bone regeneration scaffolds due to its biocompatibility and ability to bond chemically with bone tissue. Its selection over alternatives like alumina or zirconia is driven by its osteoconductivity—the capacity to support and integrate with living bone—making it particularly valuable in load-bearing and non-load-bearing implant designs where biological integration is prioritized.
