Inorganic cements have found utility in tissue replacement since the late nineteenth century, one of the first examples being calcium sulphates in the augmentation of bone defects. In the intervening period of time countless formulations of calcium phosphate, sulphate and silicate cement have been researched and as a result, many are now commercially available for a variety of biomedical applications. This review summarises the applications, formulations, advantages and drawbacks of such inorganic cements, suggesting future work that will drive progress in this area into the future of biomaterials research.

Diopside (CaMgSi2O6) ceramics was synthesized and fabricated by a simple solid‐state reaction rather than other used processes. This new and economic approach for diopside fabrication consists mainly of replacing the usually used starting materials by other more economic (activated CaO·MgO powders), using conventional sintering and microwave sintering. The P2O5 addition (0.5–5.0 wt%) promotes sintering, crystallization, and bioactivity. Additionally, a considerably low weight loss ratio (0.21%) was also obtained for these samples, after 2 days of soaking in lactic acid. Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) formation in simulated body fluid was confirmed for all sintered samples. Both sintering and CHA formation mechanisms were proposed.

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to synthesize a self-setting bioactive cement by incorporation of wollastonite nanofibers (WNFs) into calcium phosphate cement (CPC). The composition, morphology, setting time, compressive strength, hydrophilicity, and degradation of WNF-doped CPC (wnf-CPC) were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy were utilized. Additionally, methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium bromide assay, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and histological evaluation were used to study the cell and tissue responses to wnf-CPC, both in vitro and in vivo. The results confirmed that the addition of WNFs into CPC had no obvious effect on the setting time or the compressive strength of wnf-CPC, provided the WNF amount was not more than 10 wt%. However, the hydrophilicity and degradability of wnf-CPC were significantly improved by the addition of WNFs -this was because of the change of microstructure caused by the WNFs. The preferred dissolution of WNFs caused the formation of microporosity in wnf-CPC when soaked in tris hydrochloride solution. The microporosity enlarged the surface area of the wnf-CPC and so promoted degradation of the wnf-CPC when in contact with liquid. In addition, MG-63 cell attachment and proliferation on the wnf-CPC were superior to that on the CPC, indicating that incorporation of WNFs into CPC improved the biological properties for wnf-CPC. Following the implantation of wnf-CPC into bone defects of rabbits, histological evaluation showed that wnf-CPC enhanced the efficiency of new bone formation in comparison with CPC, indicating excellent biocompatibility and osteogenesis of wnf-CPC. In conclusion, wnf-CPC exhibited promising prospects in bone regeneration.
