Abstract

Tissue engineering represents a revolutionary approach to regenerating damaged bones and tissues. The most promising materials for this purpose are calcium phosphate-based bioactive ceramics (CaPs) and bioglasses, due to their excellent biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and bioactivity. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and comparative analysis of different bioactive calcium phosphate derivatives and bioglasses, highlighting their roles and potential in both bone and soft tissue engineering as well as in drug delivery systems. We explore their applications as composites with natural and synthetic biopolymers, which can enhance their mechanical and bioactive properties. This review critically examines the advantages and limitations of each material, their preparation methods, biological efficacy, biodegradability, and practical applications. By summarizing recent research from scientific literature, this paper offers a detailed analysis of the current state of the art. The novelty of this work lies in its systematic comparison of bioactive ceramics and bioglasses, providing insights into their suitability for specific tissue engineering applications. The expected primary outcomes include a deeper understanding of how each material interacts with biological systems, their suitability for specific applications, and the implications for future research directions.
