Notes:
In order to modify the biological properties of pure hydroxyapatite (HAp), two kinds ofzinc-containing HAp, which had zinc content of 5.10wt% and 2.54wt%, respectively, weresynthesized via sol-gel technique. The obtained coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then the antibacterial effects were evaluatedthrough bacteriostatic test on Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans) in vitro and zinc ions releasingability was investigated through detecting the zinc ions concentration by inductively coupledplasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The obtained coatings were observed to possesstypical apatite peaks in XRD patterns and high homogeneous and porous surfaces in SEMmorphology. The coating layer demonstrated good releasing ability in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI)liquid and obviously inhibitory effects to the growth and proliferation of S. mutans. Based on theresults obtained above, it is concluded that the sol-gel derived zinc-containing hydroxyapatite couldbe applied as an antibacterial effective biomaterial
