The aim of the present study was to develop and characterize collagen - hydroxyapatite - essential oil matrices for bone regeneration. In our study we wish to develop biomaterials which mimic bone composition and prevent allergic or toxic effects. The matrices obtained by freeze-drying were characterized by FT-IR analysis, water uptake capacity and microbiological analysis. The results obtained from analyses confirmed that collagen-hydroxyapatite-essential oils matrices exhibit proper characteristics for bone regeneration.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesscollagen hydroxyapatiteessential oilsbone regenerationConference Object939810.24264/icams-2018.I.132-s2.0-85104170730N/AWOS:000464905000013N/A
