Preparation and Characterization of Natural Fish Bone as an Implant Material

Background: The globe currently faces two major issues: a deficit of new resources and an excessive amount of trash creation. To solve these issues, the extra waste might be used as a supply in the manufacturing process. The industrial sector is focusing on this kind of waste reclamation. Aim: To prepare natural fish bone based bioactive material, natural fish bones are considered potential options for artificial bone due to their high bioactivity and biocompatibility. Methods: To synthesize a composite material, natural fish bones were used from sources of raw materials. The X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and electron dispersive X-ray analysis were used to assess the synthetic material. Results: The results showed that phosphate and calcium were presented in the synthesized powder. The average particle size of the calcined fish bone was 300 -500 nm. Conclusion: Because of their possible biological and mechanical properties, materials made from waste natural resource materials might be appropriate for use as fillers for different dental implants.
