Purpose: The most widely used material for bone graft substitutes and dental restorations is hydroxyapatite. The weakness of hydroxyapatite is that it cannot resemble the composition of natural apatite, which includes additional elements such as Na, Mg, and Al. To produce hydroxyapatite that can resemble human bone apatite, it is necessary to extract it from natural sources such as cow bones because they contain 93% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 7% β-Tri Calcium Phosphate (β-TCP) which are calcium phosphate compounds that have potential in tissue engineering and as a raw material for making hydroxyapatite. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the best natural extraction techniques to make affordable, good quality, environmentally friendly hydroxyapatite that is suitable for use as a dental implant coating.
Results: The results of the extraction method used are the calcination method because this method produces hydroxyapatite with high crystallinity, faster processing time, cost-effective, minimal chemical use, and environmentally friendly.
