SYNTHESIS OF BIOMATERIALS, IN VITRO BIOCOMPATIBILITY TESTS, FIRST STEPS IN TISSULAR ENGINEERING IN BOLIVIA

Abstract

The development of bioactive biomaterials as scaffolds for osseointegration or tissue regeneration has taken great steps, the present work shows the synthesis processes of biomaterials such as hydroxyapatite, biomaterials of the SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Al2O3 system and bio-libraries of the SiO2 system. Li2O, it has been possible to characterize the biomaterials obtained, with results similar to those of other researchers by techniques with X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy, their behavior in biocompatibility and bioactivity tests in Plasma Rico solutions has been evaluated in Growth factors and simulated body fluid, then and in order to evaluate the incorporation of antibacterial substances, one of them has been doped with silver, managing to determine that the material has this capacity, these results are the first steps to face further work in the field of Tissue Engineering in Bolivia, and thus face Osteintegration processes and tissue regeneration in general.
