Increase of biological stability primarily determines the bone regeneration potential of the collagenbased biomaterials. Addition of calcium phosphates has been an option in reinforcement of the collagen-based biomaterials. Nano-scale β-TCP allows higher self assembly and cross-linking with collagen molecules whereas the hydroxyapatite is not suitable starting material to create bone-like collagen composite without toxic cross-linking agents. The present study investigates in vivo bone regeneration potential of two collagen-based biomaterials, namely, β-TCP/collagen composite and collagen alone. The collagen alone did not show sufficient scaffold properties. Since β-TCP/collagen composite showed better scaffold property in comparison with collagen alone, biological stability is an important determinant of collagen-based biomaterials.
