Abstract
: This review systematically discusses barium titanate, a bioactive material that can mimic the piezoelectric effect of natural bone tissue, which can intervene in the regenerative repair of bone by providing a sustained electrical microenvironment for bone repair scaffolds. This may help to solve the current problem of poor osteogenic properties of bioactive materials by utilizing barium titanate.
