This study intends to present a review of the different types of ceramic-polymeric nanocomposites. The present article has as its main goal to analyze the most recent reported studies based on polymer-ceramic nanocomposites produced for bone replacement and regeneration. Scaffold fabrication methodology, mechanical performance, biocompatibility, bioactivity, and potential clinical translations are discussed. Some of the most popular processing methods to produce bioceramic structures are discussed, with an emphasis on the production of HA scaffolds. The numerous scaffold processing methods currently adopted to fabricate porous bioceramic structures and their current limitations, are discussed and comparisons are made to understand the rationale and motivation for the research. Structural, morphology, micrograph and chemical composition of this nanocrystalline composites were characterized by XRD, AFM, SEM and FTIR, respectively.
