Calcium phosphate ceramics are among the more commonly used an biocompatible ceramics. Recently, we have synthesized a new calcium phopshate ceramic, alpha-tricalcium phosphate (a TCP). The aim of this study was to assess the biocompatibility of this original, in laboratory condition modified, newly synthesized aTCP ceramic, by carefully evaluating the inflammatory reaction of soft tissue in response to its subcutaneous implantation, and by comparing this result with the results of already widely used virtually non-toxic, non-immunogenic and almost chemically inert dental (DC) and hydroxy apatite (HAP) ceramics.
