Abstract
The critical bone defect is a common clinical challenge worldwide, characterized by long recovery times, a substantial risk of infection, and high disability rates. There remains a significant demand for synthetic bone-repairing materials to address this issue. In this study, porous monetite was synthesized through the reaction between monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and β-tricalcium phosphate, using paraffin microspheres as pore-forming agents. An injectable biphasic cement was then developed by blending the monetite granules with hemihydrate calcium sulfate, designed for minimally invasive surgical applications. The cement demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic properties in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo studies confirmed the cement’s superior bone repair capabilities, indicating its promising potential for the treatment of critical bone defects.
Graphical Abstract
A highly porous composite with gradient degradation was developed by mixing porous monetite granules and hemihydrate calcium sulfate, and the composite has the effect of promoting the formation of new bone.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine publishes refereed papers providing significant progress in the application of biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs as medical or dental implants, prostheses and devices. Coverage spans a wide range of topics from basic science to clinical applications, around the theme of materials in medicine and dentistry. The central element is the development of synthetic and natural materials used in orthopaedic, maxillofacial, cardiovascular, neurological, ophthalmic and dental applications. Special biomedical topics include biomaterial synthesis and characterisation, biocompatibility studies, nanomedicine, tissue engineering constructs and cell substrates, regenerative medicine, computer modelling and other advanced experimental methodologies.
