This research was conducted to investigate the effects of silicate and carbonate substitutions in hydroxyapatite (HA) on phase retention, physical properties, and in vitro biological response. A wet chemical method was employed to synthesize silicate-substituted HA (Si-HA) and carbonate-substituted...
