title: [Determination of standards for hydroxyapatite as bone substitute].
abstract: Hydroxyapatite ceramic for surgical implants is a material that meets the ASTM F 1185-88 standard. A standard defines specifications for the manufacturer, in particular in the area of quality control. A standard like this provides the necessary basis for clinical use, but only the approval of the public health department provides a fully adequate basis for broader application.
