Effects of Compression During Formation on the Mechanical Strengths and Physical Properties of Composite Hydroxylapatite/Plaster Implants for Bone Reconstruction
Abstract:Composite hydroxylapatite/plaster of Paris implants, preformed or formed during the surgical implantation procedure, are undergoing study for the surgical reconstruction of craniofacial bones. It is frequently necessary to accelerate setting times of the hydroxylapatite/plaster (HA/PP) mixtures by the addition of potassium sulfate; in many of these cases rapid delivery of the moistened implant mixture to the surgical site may be achieved by employing a non-tapered syringe with a plunger. This device can facili… Show more
