• Abstract

    Introduction 

    The use of bioactive inorganic materials in many clinical applications has garnered considerable attention. The demand for synthetic biomaterials to restore or/and replace bone tissue lost to injury or disease, which has significantly expanded in recent years, serves as an excellent illustration of the necessity for such materials.Erbium-doped hydroxyapatite (Er-HAp) is a promising material with potential applications in biomedical and optical fields due to its unique properties. It has been a new source to develop tissue engineering using erbium in addition to depict bioluminescence and biomineralization properties. 

    Materials and methods: 

    Erbium doped hydroxyapatite was synthesized and subjected  to EDX, XRD, ATR-IR and SEM analysis for analyzing the structural and mechanical properties of the synthesized novel complex. The toxicity analysis of the complex was done with zebra fish. 

    Results: 

    The formed complex confirmed an in-depth analysis of the crystals formed were further studied using ATR-IR and XRD analysis. In the zebrafish toxicity analysis, hydroxyapatite doped with erbium did not exhibit any toxicological effects. 

    Conclusion: 

    Erbium doped hydroxyapatite can be used as an efficient bone grafting biomaterial for bone regeneration. Future studies would be done invitro and invivo to assess its efficacy in bioactivity when used as a biomaterial for guided bone regeneration.
