Strong porous tri-calcium phosphate ceramic has been fabricated, and investigated as a bone implant material. No foreign body reaction was observed, while osteoclastic activity was shown to be involved in biodegradation. Bone mineral was deposited directly onto the surface of the ceramic implant.
Ceramics used for the repair and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo‐skeletal system, termed bioceramics, may be bioinert (alumina, zirconia), resorbable ...
Abstract The feasibility of the use of porous ceramic materials in the permanent repair of skeletal defects was studied from the standpoint of physiological compatibility and in...
Abstract This study analyzed the in vivo performance of composite degradable bone repair products fabricated using the TheriForm™ process, a solid freeform fabrication (SFF) tec...
Abstract Bioglass, which has a composition of sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, phosphorous pentoxide and silica, has been shown to bond to living bone. This ability is depen...
Abstract It has been proposed that the formation of a surface apatite layer in vivo on surface active ceramics is an essential condition for chemical bonding between ceramics an...
