Abstract: BACKGROUND: With the development of bone tissue regeneration engineering research, artificial biomaterials are widely used in bone defect repair. How to modify biomaterials to make them have better mechanical and biological properties to meet the clinical application of bone defect repair has always been the focus of biomaterials research.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of zinc-doped hydroxyapatite in recent years, in order to provide more references for future scientific research and clinical application.
METHODS: The search terms “zinc, hydroxyapatite, zinc-doped hydroxyapatite, in vivo, in vitro, bacteriostasis, bone defect” in English and Chinese were used to retrieve articles on zinc-doped hydroxyapatite published from 2000 to 2020 on CNKI, PubMed and FMRS using computer. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There are many preparation methods of zinc-doped hydroxyapatite, among which chemical precipitation method, hydrothermal synthesis method and sol-gel method are widely used. The crystal structure of hydroxyapatite does not change with the addition of zinc, but with the increase of zinc concentration, the crystal nucleus size and crystallinity gradually decrease. A small amount of zinc doping can significantly improve the biocompatibility, biological activity and antibacterial activity of hydroxyapatite, while a large amount of zinc doping can cause toxic reaction. Therefore, we should choose the appropriate preparation method and strictly control the reaction conditions in the practical research and application to prepare zinc-doped hydroxyapatite composite materials that meet the needs of clinical bone defect repair.
