Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the most studied biomaterials due to its similarity to the bone mineral phase. Previous studies have proved enhanced osteoconductivity if synthetic HAp biomaterials chemically and morphologically resemble calcified bone tissues. In the current research, an effect of addition of biologically active elements, i.e. Mg and Sr, on HAp crystalline structure and thermal behavior has been assessed.
