Used as a synthetic bone graft material in orthopedic and dental applications due to its biocompatibility and structural similarity to natural bone mineral. Commonly employed in bone defect fillers, coating for implants to enhance osseointegration, and as a scaffold in tissue engineering. Its non-porous structure provides mechanical stability in load-bearing applications. Also utilized in chromatography as a stationary phase for protein purification. Frequently applied in research settings for cell culture studies involving osteoblasts or bone regeneration.
