Calcium phosphate bone cements for clinical applications. Part I: Solution chemistry

  • Published:
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Calcium phosphate cements have been the subject of many studies in the last decade because of their biocompatibility, their capacity to fill bone cavities and their hardening properties; properties which are desirable in a broad range of surgical applications. The setting and hardening of these materials are controlled by dissolution–precipitation chemical reactions at room or body temperature and involve crystalline phase transformations. © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers
