What is it about?
The in vivo dissolution study is essential to improve our understanding of the processes leading to the enhanced bioactivity of biomaterials. The main objective of this study was to use electron microscopy to compare dissolution rates of TCP and TCPss implants in vivo.

Why is it important?
We hypothesise that the incorporation of the silicon element into the structure of TCP can enhance the important physical and bioactive properties of the TCP, which otherwise resorbed too quickly and is less stable.
Perspectives
Like all of us who work in basic science, we hope that some day some of our materials go to the practice clinic
