title: [Progress in the study of biomimetic process for depositing apatite coatings].
abstract: The biomimetic method, which mimics the natural deposition of biologic apatite, has opened up a new way to develop biomaterials. This paper gives a brief introduction of various biomimetic methods to deposit apatite coatings, and the mechanical and biological properties of the coatings.
