Abstract:
This review is an extensive collection of the latest literature describing the current knowledge about nanohydroxyapatite in a comprehensive way. These are hydroxyapatite particles with a size below 100 nm. Due to their size, the surface area to mass ratio of the particles increases. They are widely used in medicine due to their high potential in regenerative medicine, as a carrier of various substances, e.g., in targeted therapy. The aim of this article is to present the biological and physicochemical properties as well as the use of nanohydroxyapatite in modern medicine. Due to the potential of nanohydroxyapatite in medicine, further research is needed.
