This review discusses and summarizes the recent developments and advances in the use of
biodegradable materials for bone repair purposes. The choice between using degradable …

Since their initial formulation in the 1980s, calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been
increasingly used as bone substitutes. This article provides an overview on the chemistry …

Dicalcium phosphate cements were developed two decades ago and ever since there has
been a substantial growth in research into improving their properties in order to satisfy the …

In the search for more ideal bone graft materials for clinical application, the investigation into
ceramic bone cements or bone void filler is ongoing. Calcium phosphate-based materials …

The key feature of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) lies in the setting reaction triggered
by mixing one or more solid calcium phosphate salts with an aqueous solution. Upon …

In early 1980s, researchers discovered self-setting calcium orthophosphate cements, which
are bioactive and biodegradable grafting bioceramics in the form of a powder and a liquid …

Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium
orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists …

The two growth factors VEGF and PDGF are involved in the process of bone regeneration.
For this reason, we developed a brushite–chitosan system which controls the release …

Making use of the potential of calcium phosphates to host a variety of ions in their crystal
lattice, ion substitution of calcium phosphate bone cements has become the subject of …
