    formation which leads to bone regeneration or osteoregeneration. Biomineralization is a biological process which allows an organism to produce minerals. These minerals are often used by an organism to harden or stiffen existing tissues, resulting in mineralized tissues. All kingdoms in taxonomy have members capable of this process, such as algae with silicates, invertebrates with carbonates, and vertebrates with calcium phosphates.…
