Sintering of α-Tricalcium Phosphate

Tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) implantation

Bone loss induced by inflammation is one of the complications after biomaterial implantation. There is no much data on expression of cytokines and defensins into the bone tissue around the implants in literature. The aim of this work was to investigate the distribution and appearance of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL10 and β – defensin (BD)-2, BD-3, BD-4 after the implantation of different ...

An improvement in sintering property of beta-tricalcium phosphate by addition of calcium pyrophosphate.

The sintering behavior of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP, Ca2P2O7)-doped beta-tricalcium phosphate [TCP, Ca3(PO4)2], prepared by solid state reaction, was investigated in-situ, using dilatometry. Pure beta-TCP undergoes phase transition to alpha-TCP at about 1200 degrees C; hence pure beta-TCP ceramics should be sintered bclow 1200 degrees C. Pure beta-TCP sintered body can achieve a relative densi...

THE INFLUENCE OF CALCIUM INFILTRATION ON THE SINTERING BEHAVIOR AND DISSOLUTION OF BETA-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE by

CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CEMENT: STUDY OF (BETA-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE AND CALCIUM CARBONATE SYSTEM

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), using B-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP, Ca3 (P04)2), dicalcium phosphate (DCP, CaHP04), calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), and hydroxylapatite (HAp, Ca10(P04)6(OH)2) as powder cement and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HP04) solution as liquid component were prepared. After mixing the powder and liquid constituents, injectable and self-setting calcium phosphate cements (...

Influence of Si substitution on the reactivity of α-tricalcium phosphate.

Silicon substituted calcium phosphates have been widely studied over the last ten years due to their enhanced osteogenic properties. Notwithstanding, the role of silicon on α-TCP reactivity is not clear yet. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the reactivity and the properties of Si-α-TCP in comparison to α-TCP. Precursor powders have similar properties regarding purity, particle si...
