α-Tricalcium phosphate: Synthesis, properties and biomedical applications
TLDR
It is as biocompatible as β-TCP, but more soluble, and hydrolyses rapidly to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, which makes α- TCP a useful component for preparing self-setting osteotransductive bone cements and biodegradable bioceramics and composites for bone repairing.About:

Material processing of a new calcium silicophosphate ceramic
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of a new calcium silicophosphate ceramic by a powder metallurgy method combined with homogenization and heat treatment procedures was carried out by using a single phase with a Ca2SiO4/Ca3(PO4)2 M ratio equal to 2/1.

Bone glue - The final frontier for fracture repair and implantable device stabilization
TL;DR: In clinical practice, the glue offers the possibility of providing immediate and extended stabilization, eliminating the need for high mechanical bone compression as in press fit or threaded implants and may negate theneed for bone plating of fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of calcium phosphate cement with poly (γ-glutamic acid) and its strontium salt for kyphoplasty application.
TL;DR: Results suggest that optimal properties were obtained for the cement with 8.9wt% γ-PGA added to its solid phases and using strontium salt as the reactive liquid phase, making it as a promising candidate for application in kyphoplasty.

Phase transitions in single phase Si–Ca–P-based ceramic under thermal treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of thermal treatment on phase transformations of Si-Ca-P (Nurse's A ss ) single phase ceramic was investigated and the results showed that the phase evolution during the synthesis of ceramic was influenced by the type of raw materials used while annealing within the 1000-1500°C range for 2h, the interdiffusion of silica and phosphorous took place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-setting particle-stabilized emulsion for hard-tissue engineering
TL;DR: Self-setting emulsions stabilized with α-TCP and PLGA microparticles constitute a novel candidate material for bone regeneration and improve the compressive strengths of the set cements.
