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.

Fabrication and characterization of porous biphasic β-tricalcium phosphate/carbonate apatite alginate coated scaffolds

TL;DR: In this paper, a biphasic β-tricalcium phosphate/carbonate apatite (β-TCP/CO3Ap) scaffolds incorporated with alginate were fabricated by polymer reticulate method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of dopants on thermal stability and densification of β-tricalcium phosphate powders

TL;DR: In this article, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is doped with Mg2+ and Sr2+ in order to postpone the problematic β − β → α -TCP transition occurring from 1125°C.

Composite bone tissue engineering scaffolds produced by coaxial electrospinning

TL;DR: In this paper, core and shell polycarpolactone (PCL)-PLA/micro-HA fibrous scaffolds were produced via coaxial electrospinning, and the results indicated that coaxial scaffolds with and without HA exhibited gradual release of BMP 2 with only 12.8-13.6% released over 96 hours.
