Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been regarded as a promising material for use in minimal invasive surgery for bone defect repair, because of its similarity to the mineral phase of bone and the nature of setting in situ. CPC has been developed as an injectable bone substitute material due to its good biocompatibility, excellent bioactivity, self-setting characteristic, low setting temperature, adequate stiffness and easy shaping in complicated geometries. In this study, CPCs were prepared by mixing one or several reactive calcium phosphate powders with an aqueous solution to form a paste that hardened within a restricted period of time. In addition, the CPCs with different formulations were prepared and their physicochemical properties were investigated. |
