Popis: Results of experimental studies of optimizing the process of sintering in bioactive composite materials based on a silicate matrix and hydroapatite are described. To estimate and predict the technological, mechanical, and biological properties of materials, a sinterability index is proposed, which is the ratio between the specific surface areas of the matrix and the filler. A functional correlation between the sinterability index and the content and granulometric composition of the filler is identified. Sintered composites can be used for intrabone dental implants.
