Abstract (EN): Synthetic bone grafts, such as calcium phosphate-based materials, display similar chemical and biological properties to human bone and offer many advantages compared to autografts. These graft materials do not possess the risk of disease transmission and eliminate the need for an additional surgical procedure for transplantation, reducing patient pain and recovery time. Hence, calcium phosphate-based materials are gaining growing interest for use as bone synthetic graft materials [3, 6, 8].
