Schematic illustration of the structural arrangement in the patient-tailored bioceramic implant, and calcium release profile of surface and inner core. (a) The implant surface just neighboring the trepanned bone edge comprises a disordered silicate tetrahedral network, opened by an elevated concentration of modifier cations. The highly reactive BG structure is smoothly connected to the less-reactive multiphasic monoclinic arrangement of phosphate tetrahedrons and Ca²⁺ cations through an orthorhombic crystal lattice with decreasing presence of Na⁺ cations. (b) Ca²⁺ release profile in Tris-HCl buffer for HA precursor material, bare multiphasic CaP before laser cladding with BG, and of samples with S520 BG outer layers.
