The biological active Mg plays an important role in the formation and growth of the hard bone tissue and the Zn is extremely important mediator for more than 200 enzymes. RESULTS Chemical composition of the sintered at 1000oC solid phase XRD studies IR studies Zn2+/(Zn2++Ca2+) 0.13 0.03 0 SEM studies Zn- modified ceramics Mg – modified ceramics Mg2+/(Mg2++Ca2+) Mg-β-TCP + HA Zn- β-TCP Mg/(Mg +Ca) = 0.02 0.10 0.02 0 Zn/(Zn +Ca) = 0.03 Zn- β-TCP Mg- β-TCP Zn/(Zn +Ca) = 0.13 Mg/(Mg +Ca) = 0.10 ■ HA; -TCP; CONCLUSIONS Zn2+ ions substitution - Mono phased zinc-β-TCP ceramics with idiomorphic crystals (sizes 500–5000 nm). Mg2+ ions substitution - Concentration of Mg2+ ions is a crucial Mg2+/(Mg2+ +Ca2+) = 0.10 - mono phased magnesium-β-TCP ceramicswith spherical grains (sizes 100-500 nm); Mg2+/(Mg2+ +Ca2+) = 0.02 - bi-phased ceramics consisting of magnesium-β-TCP and hydroxiapatite (HA)(sizes 100-500 nm).
