	abstract = {The biocompatibility and osteoconductive potential of Bonelike{\textregistered} and Bonelike{\textregistered}/PLGA hybrid materials were evaluated through subcutaneous and tibiae implantations for a 4 week period. Qualitative histology was performed to evaluate new bone formation and characterise bone-implant interface and results showed that Bonelike{\textregistered}/PLGA hybrid materials promote extensive bone growth. After the 4 week implantation period, Bonelike{\textregistered} resorption was recognized, which may be due to the presence of resorbable β and α-tricalcium phosphate phases.},
