Calcium phosphates (CPs), mainly hydroxyapatite, are bioceramics that possess similar composition of host bones and are able to stimulate osteoconduction and osteointegration to living tissues.<br>Bacterial cellulose-calcium phosphates composites have caught the attention of researchers by their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, being considered an excellent proposal to development of new synthetic grafts to bone tissue engineering. The minireview presented here focuses on various fabrication methods used to prepare and novel applications of BC-CPs composites and their applications in BTE.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Advances in Medical Biotechnology - IJAMB}, author={Barbosa de Sousa, Ricardo and Gomes Vieira, Ewerton and Bagliotti Meneguin, Andréia and Miguel Sábio, Rafael and Anteveli Osajima Furtini, Josy and Cavalcanti da Silva Filho, Edson}, year={2018}, month={Mar.}, pages={11-20} }
