Abstract β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is one the most used and potent synthetic bone
graft substitute. It is not only osteoconductive, but also osteoinductive. These properties …

Calcium phosphates are promising materials for applications in bone repair and substitution,
particularly for their bioactivity and ability to form self-setting cements. Among them, α …

Various types of materials have been traditionally used to restore damaged bones. In the
late 1960s, a strong interest was raised in studying ceramics as potential bone grafts due to …

In the present work, three different Mn2+-doped calcium pyrophosphate (CPP, Ca2P2O7)
polymorphs were synthesized by wet co-precipitation method followed by annealing at …

For the past 20 years, the democratization of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has
made many of us dream of: low cost, waste-free, and on-demand production of functional …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics have been extensively employed as bone tissue scaffolds
owing to their biodegradability and osteoinductivity. In our work, HA, a significant component …

Abstract β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP), one of the most used bone graft substitutes, may
contain up to 5 wt% foreign phase according to standards. Typical foreign phases include β …

Some synthetic bone graft substitutes (BGS) can trigger ectopic bone formation, which is the
hallmark of osteoinduction and the most important prerequisite for the repair of large bone …

The large variability of biological responses to β-TCP implants reported in the literature
could possibly be related to subtle differences in the β-TCP crystal structure. The structure …

Dense and polished samples are sometimes used to test the in vitro biological response of
biomaterials. However, their production can be challenging, for example for α-tricalcium …
