    Notes: Summary It has been reported that bioactive glass-ceramics containing crystalline oxy- and fluoroapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(O,F2) and wollastonite (CaSiO3), chemical composition: MgO 4.6, CaO 44.9, SiO2 34.2, P2O5 16.3, CaF2 0.5 in weight ratio] bond to bone tissue through the formation of an apatite (a calcium and phosphorus-rich layer) on the ceramic surface. In this study, the influence of disodium (1-hydroxythylidene) diphosphonate (DHTD) on the bonding between bone and glass-ceramics containing apatite and wollastonite was investigated. Rectangular ceramic plates (15 mm x 10 mm x 2 mm, abraded with #2000 alumina powder) were implanted into the tibial bone of mature male rabbits. DHTD was administered daily by subcutaneous injection to groups 1–5: group 1–4 at doses of 20, 5.0, 1.0, and 0.1 mg/kg body wt/day for 8 weeks; and group 5 at a dose of 5 mg/kg body wt/day for 4 weeks. Group 6 was given injections of saline as a control. At 8 weeks after implantation, the rabbits were killed. The tibiae containing the ceramics were dissected out and used for a detachment test. The failure load, when an implant became detached from the bone, or when the bone itself broke, was measured. The failure loads for groups 1–6 were 0 kg, 0 kg, 8.08±2.43 kg, 7.28±2.07 kg, 5.56±1.63 kg, and 6.38±1.30 kg, respectively. Ceramic bonding to bone tissue was inhibited by a higher dose of DHTD (groups 1 and 2). In groups 3–6, SEM-EPMA showed a calcium-phosphorus-rich layer (Ca-P-rich layer) at the interface between the ceramic and bone tissue. However, at higher doses (5 and 20 mg), the Ca-P-rich layer was not observed on the surface of the glass-ceramic. DHTD suppressed both the formation of the Ca-P-rich layer on the surface of galss-ceramics and also apatite formation by bone. Thus, bonding between the Ca-P-rich layer of glass-ceramics and the apatite of bone tissue did not occur. This study verified that the apatite crystals in bone tissue bonded chemically to the Ca-P-rich layer on the surface glass-ceramics. The organic matrix (osteoid) did not participate in the bonding between bone and glass-ceramics.

    Notes: Silica glass powder (SG-P) made by a fusing-quenching method was added as a second filler to a bioactive bone cement consisting of MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-CaF2 apatite and wollastonite containing glass-ceramic powder (AW-P) and bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)-based resin, to achieve a higher mechanical strength and better handling properties in use. Five types of cement were used, containing different weight ratios of AW-P/SG-P (Group 1 = 100/0; Group 2 = 75/25; Group 3 = 50/50; Group 4 = 25/75; and Group 5 = 0/100) as filler, to evaluate the effect of SG-P content on the biological, mechanical, and handling properties. The total proportion of filler added to the cements was 85% w/w. The compressive, bending, and tensile strengths and fracture toughness of the cements increased with SG-P content. The viscosity of cements also increased with SG-P content, and every cement could be handled manually. The cements were evaluated in vivo by packing the intramedullary canals of rat tibiae. An affinity index was calculated for each cement; this was the length of bone directly apposed to cement expressed as a percentage of the total length of the cement surface. Histological examination of implanted tibiae for up to 26 weeks showed that the affinity indices decreased with SG-P content and that those of all the cement groups increased with time. At 26 weeks, Groups 1 and 2 had almost identical affnity indices (79% and 75%; no significant difference) but those of the other groups remained at 〈50%. Group 2 had better mechanical and handling properties than Group 1, and an SG-P content in the filler of no more than 25% w/w did not interfere strongly with the bioactivity of the cement. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We introduced an inhibitor to the polymerization reaction of bioactive bone cement (AWC) consisting of MgO - CaO - SiO2 - P2O5 - CaF2 apatite and wollastonite containing glass-ceramic powder and bisphenol-α-glycidyl methacrylate based resin, together with an increased amount of accelerator but without any prolongation of its setting time in order to improve the degree of polymerization and decrease the amount of incompletely polymerized monomers on the cement surface. A comparison was made between the AWC containing the inhibitor [AWC(I+)] and the AWC without it [AWC(I-)] with regard to setting parameters, mechanical properties, and surface reactivity in vitro and in vivo. The proportion of glass-ceramic powder added to the AWC was 70% (w/w). The total amount of heat generation and the peak temperature of the AWC(I+) during polymerization were slightly greater than those of the AWC(I-). The mechanical strength of AWC(I+) was higher than that of the AWC(I-) under wet conditions. In simulated body fluid, the width of the Ca-P rich layer on the surface of the AWC(I+) was less than that on the AWC(I-) after 28 days of immersion, although the rate of apatite formation on the top surface of the AWC(I+) was almost identical to that on the AWC(I-) surface. Histological examination using rat tibiae up to 26 weeks revealed that the bioactivity of the AWC(I+) was equivalent to that of the AWC(I-). Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis demonstrated that the Ca-P rich layer in the AWC(I+) was significantly narrower than that in the AWC(I-) at the same time points. These results indicate that introduction of the inhibitor improved the mechanical properties of the AWC and made the Ca-P rich layer narrower, but it had no adverse effect on bioactivity. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Three types of bioactive bone cement (designated AWC, HAC, and TCPC), each consisting of bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)-based resin and a bioactive filler of apatite and wollastonite containing glass-ceramic (AW-GC), sintered hydroxyapatite (HA), or β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) powder were made in order to evaluate the influence of the bioactive filler on the mechanical and biological properties of bone cement. The proportion of filler added to the cements was 70% w/w. The compressive, bending, and tensile strengths and the fracture toughness of AWC were higher than HAC and TCPC under wet conditions. The cements were evaluated in vivo by packing them into the intramedullary canals of rat tibiae. An affinity index that equalled the length of bone in direct apposition to the cement was calculated for each cement and expressed as a percentage of the total length of the cement surface. Histological examination of rat tibiae up to 8 weeks after implantation revealed that AWC had higher bioactivity than HAC and TCPC. New bone had formed along the AWC surface within 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks newly formed bone surrounded the cement surface almost completely. In HAC- and TCPC-implanted tibiae, immature bone had formed directly toward but not along the cement surface at 2 weeks. Observation of cement-bone interfaces showed that AWC had bonded to the bone via a so-called “Ca-P-rich layer”; the cement-bone interface remained stable, and the width of the CA-P-rich layer became thicker with time. On the other hand, in HAC- and TCPC-implanted tibiae, the cement surface fillers were surrounded by new bone and were absorbed gradually to become bone matrix. The cement-bone interfaces went inside the cement with time. Our results indicate that stronger interstitial bonding between the inorganic filler and the organic matrix resin in AWC lead to higher mechanical properties; results also indicate that the more stable cement-bone interface and higher bioactivity of AWC are due to early and uniform apatite formation on the cement surface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Recently much attention has been paid to bioactive filler-resin composite cements because they can solidify in a few minutes to give high mechanical strengths and they can bond to living bone. In this study the dependence on resin of apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated for the composite cements of bioactive CaO-SiO2-P2O5-CaF2 glass with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate/triethyleneglycol (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA) resin. The PMMA-containing composite cement did not show the apatite-forming ability in SBF because the reaction of the glass grains with SBF was inhibited due to the complete covering of the grains with PMMA. To the contrary, the Bis-GMA/TEGDMA-containing cement exhibited high apatite-forming ability in SBF; these monomers significantly dissolved from the composite surface into SBF, causing a direct exposure of the glass grains to SBF to convert into silica gel. It is assumed that thus formed silica gels, and the silicate ions that were dissolved and adsorbed onto the composite surface, induced the apatite nucleation between the spaces of the glass grains and on the composite surface, respectively. A continuous bone-like apatite layer was formed on the top surface of the glass-Bis-GMA/TEGDMA composite cement in a short period. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
