Carbonate-Hydroxyapatite Cement: The Effect of Composition on Solubility In Vitro and Resorption In Vivo
Open Access
Abstract
The rate of resorption of calcium phosphate self-hardening materials for bone regeneration can be changed by changing the phase composition. The Ca3(PO4)2/CaCO3/Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O/Na2HPO4·12H2O system is important for the synthesis of self-curing bioactive materials with variable resorption rates by changing the ratios of the initial components. Cement compositions in twelve figurative points of a four-component composition diagram at a fixed content in the α-Ca3(PO4)2 system were studied with XRD, FTIR, SEM, calorimetric, and volumetric methods to obtain an idea of the effect of composition on solubility in vitro and resorption in vivo. It was found that the presence of the highly resorbable phase of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate in cement and the substitution of phosphate ions with the carbonate ions of hydroxyapatite increased solubility in vitro and resorption in vivo. The obtained results confirm the possibility of changing the solubility of a final product in the Ca3(PO4)2/CaCO3/Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O/Na2HPO4·12H2O system by changing the ratio of the initial components.Keywords
