A plastic composite of alginate with calcium phosphate granulate as implant material: an in vivo study.
A comparison of calcium phosphate granulate with a composite of alginate and calcium phosphate granulate, shows that the composite has less particle migration, less biodegradation and better handling properties. The tissue response to both materials is similar.
