Both types of dopants caused significant effects on the structure-related parameters of beta-TCP, including the crystallite dimensions and lattice parameters. The magnetic properties of as-prepared samples were found to be affected by the type and amount of the dopant(s). The in vitro antimicrobial activities of doped beta-TCPs against American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) reference bacterial and fungal strains were evaluated. Among them, only 1.35Ni-TCP displayed an effective antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (50 mu g/mL Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) range), while other types of doped beta-TCPs did not possess with such effect. The in vivo tests showed that each formulation could be a good nominate for bone healing and bone treatment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessbeta-tricalcium phosphateDopantsMagnetic propertiesIn vitroIn vivoArticle4517227522275810.1016/j.ceramint.2019.07.3142-s2.0-85069933079Q1WOS:000493217800043Q1
