Dicalcium phosphate cements: brushite and monetite.
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 requirements needed for several clinical applications. The present paper presents an overview of the rapidly expanding research field of the two main dicalcium phosphate bioceramics: brushite and monetite. This review b...
متن کاملThe expanded amelogenin polyproline region preferentially binds to apatite versus carbonate and promotes apatite crystal elongation
The transition from invertebrate calcium carbonate-based calcite and aragonite exo- and endoskeletons to the calcium phosphate-based vertebrate backbones and jaws composed of microscopic hydroxyapatite crystals is one of the great revolutions in the evolution of terrestrial organisms. To identify potential factors that might have played a role in such a transition, three key domains of the vert...
متن کاملThe cooperation of enamelin and amelogenin in controlling octacalcium phosphate crystal morphology.
Enamel matrix proteins, including the most abundant amelogenin and lesser amounts of enamelin, ameloblastin, and proteinases, play vital roles in controlling crystal nucleation and growth during enamel formation. The cooperative action between amelogenin and the 32-kDa enamelin is critical to regulating the growth morphology of octacalcium phosphate crystals. Using biophysical methods, we inves...
متن کاملCompressive fatigue properties of an acidic calcium phosphate cement—effect of phase composition
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are synthetic bone grafting materials that can be used in fracture stabilization and to fill bone voids after, e.g., bone tumour excision. Currently there are several calcium phosphate-based formulations available, but their use is partly limited by a lack of knowledge of their mechanical properties, in particular their resistance to mechanical loading over long...
متن کاملReversible single-crystal to single-crystal polymorphic phase transformation of an organic crystal.
Two polymorphs of a substituted dihydroanthracene derivative were prepared by crystallization from different solvents. Each polymorph is reversibly interconvertible to the other by means of a single-crystal to single-crystal phase transformation.
