The chemical and structural similarities of calcium orthophosphates (abbreviated as CaPO4)to the mineral composition of natural bones and teeth have made them a good candidate for bone tissue engineering applications. Nowadays, a variety of natural or synthetic CaPO4-based biomaterials is produced and has been extensively used for dental and orthopedic applications. Despite their inherent brittleness, CaPO4 materials possess several appealing characteristics as scaffold materials. Namely, their biocompatibility and variable stoichiometry, thus surface charge density, functionality and dissolution properties, make them suitable for both drug and growth factor delivery. Therefore, CaPO4, especially hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphates (TCPs), have attracted a significant interest in simultaneous use as bone grafts and drug delivery vehicles. Namely, CaPO4-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds and/or carriers have been designed to induce bone formation and vascularization. These scaffolds are usually porous and harbor various types of drugs, biologically active molecules and/or cells. Over the past few decades, their application as bone grafts in combination with stem cells has gained much importance. This review discusses the source, manufacturing methods and advantages of using CaPO4 scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Perspective future applications comprise drug delivery and tissue engineering purposes.

Tissue engineering applications aim to replace or regenerate damaged tissues through a combination of cells, three-dimensional scaffolds, and signaling molecules [1]. The endochondral approach to bone tissue engineering [2], which involves remodeling of an intermittent hypertrophic cartilaginous template, may be superior to the traditional intramembranous approach. Naturally derived hydrogels have been used extensively in tissue engineering applications [3]. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) seeded hydrogels may be a particularly powerful tool in scaling-up engineered endochondral bone grafts as the low oxygen conditions that develop within large constructs enhance in vitro chondrogenic differentiation and functional development [4]. A key requirement however, is that the hydrogel must allow for remodeling of the engineered hypertrophic cartilage into bone and also facilitate vascularization of the graft. The first objective of this study was to compare the capacity of different naturally derived hydrogels (alginate, chitosan, and fibrin) to generate in vivo endochondral bone. The secondary objective was to investigate the possibility of engineering a ‘scaled-up’ anatomically accurate distal phalange as a paradigm for whole bone tissue engineering.
