Materials based on Mg2+-containing phosphates are gaining great relevance in the field of bone tissue repair via regenerative medicine methods. Magnesium ions, together with condensed phosphate ions, play substantial roles in the process of bone remodeling, affecting the early stage of bone regeneration through active participation in the process of osteosynthesis. In this paper we provide a comprehensive overview of the usage of biomaterials based on magnesium phosphate and magnesium calcium phosphate in bone reconstruction. We consider the role of magnesium ions in angiogenesis, which is an important process associated with osteogenesis. Finally, we summarize the biological properties of calcium magnesium phosphates for regeneration of bone.
Synthesis from mixed-anionic aqueous solutions is a novel approach to obtain active powders for bioceramics production in the CaO-SiO2-P2O5-Na2O system. In this work, powders were prepared using precipitation from aqueous solutions of the following precursors: Ca(NO3)2 and Na2HPO4 (CaP); Ca(NO3)2 and Na2SiO3 (CaSi); and Ca(NO3)2, Na2HPO4 and Na2SiO3 (CaPSi). Phase composition of the CaP powder included brushite CaHPO4‧2H2O and the CaSi powder included calcium silicate hydrate. Phase composition of the CaPSi powder consisted of the amorphous phase (presumably containing hydrated quasi-amorphous calcium phosphate and calcium silicate phase). All synthesized powders contained NaNO3 as a by-product. The total weight loss after heating up to 1000 °C for the CaP sample—28.3%, for the CaSi sample—38.8% and for the CaPSi sample was 29%. Phase composition of the ceramic samples after the heat treatment at 1000 °C based on the CaP powder contained β-NaCaPO4 and β-Ca2P2O7, the ceramic samples based on the CaSi powder contained α-CaSiO3 and Na2Ca2Si2O7, while the ceramics obtained from the CaPSi powder contained sodium rhenanite β-NaCaPO4, wollastonite α-CaSiO3 and Na3Ca6(PO4)5. The densest ceramic sample was obtained in CaO-SiO2-P2O5-Na2O system at 900 °C from the CaP powder (ρ = 2.53 g/cm3), while the other samples had densities of 0.93 g/cm3 (CaSi) and 1.22 (CaPSi) at the same temperature. The ceramics prepared in this system contain biocompatible and bioresorbable phases, and can be recommended for use in medicine for bone-defect treatment.

The results of the formation of composite bone implants filled with magnetoelectric elements (MEs) magnetostrictor/piezoelectric by stereolithographic 3D printing are presented. Such implants are capable of generating local electric fields under the action of an external magnetic field, creating an additional electrical stimulus for bone tissue regeneration. CoFe2O4 was used as a magnetostrictive material, and BaNiO3, Na0.5K0.5NBO3, and BiFeO3 were used as piezoelectric materials. Magnetoelectric elements filled hydrogel matrix based on a photopolymerized polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) monomer. The main problems of stereolithographic formation of macroporous composites are associated with very strong absorption of UV radiation (405 nm) by monomer suspensions, containing CoFe2O4 and BiFeO3 particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
