Calcium phosphate (CaPO) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the phosphate family, commonly studied as a bioactive material for medical and dental applications. It is used primarily in orthopedic and dental implants, bone scaffolds, and biomedical coatings where biocompatibility and bone-bonding capability are critical. Engineers select calcium phosphate ceramics over conventional metals or polymers when direct osseointegration (bone integration) is required, or in applications demanding chemical stability in physiological environments; however, brittleness and lower fracture resistance compared to titanium alloys often necessitate composite formulations or careful design consideration.
