ABSTRACT
The loss of bone mass is a very common condition that is affecting people of various ages and causing a declinein quality of life of these people. Currently there is the possibility of using bone grafts to replace this bone loss, whichcan be autogenously, halogen or heterogeneous, with autogenously those get better results, but with disadvantageof providing two surgical sites in patients. In this sense, and also for other reasons related to properties of materials,authors are seeking to mimic natural bone for the production of ceramic biocompatible materials that can retainthe structure and properties of natural bone tissue. Such material should present structure dense/porous structuresimilar to the cortical and cancellous bone. With this, these materials can have good future applications, including thereplacement of lost bone tissue, and then becoming one more option to improve the quality of life of these patients.Thus, the objective of this study was a literature review of the ceramics that mimic the bone tissue, which are thenconsidered bio inspired materials...
