Abstract

A composition produced as a result of mixing alumina, silica, and a calcium phosphate compound in a specific ratio exhibits high affinity for bioceramics. When a bioceramic is coated with this composition and the coated bioceramic is heated, the composite is fused fast with the bioceramic to produce a composition bioceramic which is active to vital tissues.
