Journal ArticleDOI
Setting Reaction and Hardening of an Apatitic Calcium Phosphate Cement
Maria-Pau Ginebra,Enrique Fernández,E.A.P. De Maeyer,Ronald Verbeeck,M. G. Boltong,Josep Ginebra,F. C. M. Driessens,Josep A. Planell +7 more
TL;DR: Both the extent of conversion and the compressive strength increased initially linearly with time, subsequently reaching a saturation level, with a strong correlation observed between them, indicating that the microstructural changes taking place as the setting reaction proceeded were responsible for the mechanical behavior of the cement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and properties of 3D scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The entire novel process that can be followed to design graded porous implants, whatever its external shape and geometry, but internally tuned to the exact histomorphometric indices needed to match natural human tissues microstructures and, consequently, their mechanical and fluid properties, among others are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium phosphate bone cements for clinical applications. Part I: solution chemistry.
Enrique Fernández,Francisco Javier Gil,Maria-Pau Ginebra,F. C. M. Driessens,Josep A. Planell,Serena M. Best +5 more
TL;DR: Calcium phosphate cements have been the subject of many studies in the last decade because of their biocompatibility, their capacity to fill bone cavities and their hardening properties; properties which are desirable in a broad range of surgical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective formulations for the preparation of calcium phosphate bone cements
F. C. M. Driessens,M. G. Boltong,O. Bermúdez,Josep A. Planell,M. P. Ginebra,Enrique Fernández +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large number of combinations of such compounds is possible which might result in the formation of calcium phosphate cements upon mixing with water, however, the number of calcium phosphates possibly formed by precipitation at room or body temperatures is limited to 12.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium phosphate bone cements for clinical applications. Part II: precipitate formation during setting reactions.
Enrique Fernández,Francisco Javier Gil,Maria-Pau Ginebra,F. C. M. Driessens,J. A. Planell,Serena M. Best +5 more
TL;DR: A review is presented of the scientific literature concerning precipitate formation during setting reactions of CPBCs and it is shown that understanding the thermodynamics of calcium phosphate salts in an aqueous solution at room or body temperature it is possible to optimize the manufacturing technology involved in the production ofCPBCs.
