Abstract

---

This short review shows the present status of research & development in chitosan/calcium phosphate composites studies. It is a promising biomaterial to face new problems and challenges in the field of materials science, biology and medicine, related with musculoskeletal tissue, bone and cartilage are under extensive investigation in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering research. A large number of people who needs medical devices rising every year and is related with many factor such bone fractures, defects or diseases in addition to other various problems which need to be cured make the scientist research and develop a great number of biodegradable and bioresorbable biocomposites. New developments in this interdisciplinary field related with new materials, methods possibly will increase in the near future the feasibility to design a new generation of biocomposites tailored for specific patients and disease states.
