Bone tissue engineering has attracted great interest in the last few years, as the frequency of tissue-damaging or degenerative diseases has increased exponentially. To obtain an ideal treatment solution, researchers have focused on the development of optimum biomaterials to be applied for the enhancement of bioactivity and the regeneration process, which are necessary to support the proper healing process of osseous tissues. In this regard, hydroxyapatite (HA) has been the most widely used material in the biomedical field due to its great biocompatibility and similarity with the native apatite from the human bone. However, HA still presents some deficiencies related to its mechanical properties, which are essential for HA to be applied in load-bearing applications. Bioactivity is another vital property of HA and is necessary to further improve regeneration and antibacterial activity. These drawbacks can be solved by doping the material with trace elements, adapting the properties of the material, and, finally, sustaining bone regeneration without the occurrence of implant failure. Considering these aspects, in this review, we have presented some general information about HA properties, synthesis methods, applications, and the necessity for the addition of doping ions into its structure. Also, we have presented their influence on the properties of HA, as well as the latest applications of doped materials in the biomedical field.

“…It has been noticed that no man-made material is able to achieve the toughness at such low densities as in shell, wood or tooth. Various approaches have been made to copy them, which encompasses a new subject called biomimics (Calvert 1990). Tooth is nature's cutting and grinding tool.…”

The inorganic content of human tooth is predominantly hydroxyapatite. The content varies in enamel and dentin. A reversible thermal transformation at 157 C is observed and has correspondence in the dielectric measurements. The dental decay is related to the piezoelectric property of tooth, which is similar to a polar glassceramic. The toughness of tooth is higher than hotpressed hydroxyapatite and owes it to the microstruct ure signifying the importance of a weak, pliable interface. The hardness is graded, higher for enamel in the crown and very much lower for dentin, to suit their function and environment. The relevance of biomimics in designing materials for advanced performance is discussed.
