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.

Luminescence properties and color identification of Eu doped Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 phosphors calcined in air

TL;DR: In this article, the luminescence properties of the two different phases of TCP were discussed according to the luminecence spectra during the heating and cooling transition, and the results of this study suggested that Eu ion could be used as a spectroscopic probe to qualitatively identify the crystalline phase of TCP by a simple and convenient way to observe the color-tunable emission of the samples when irradiating it under 365nm UV lamp.

In vitro study of the proliferation and growth of human fetal osteoblasts on Mg and Si co-substituted tricalcium phosphate ceramics.

TL;DR: The results of the MTT and Alamar Blue assays showed that the soluble components extracted from the Mg/Si- co-substituted Ca3 (PO4 )2 and the Ca3(PO4)2 -CaMg(SiO3 )2 composite were noncytotoxic.

Si-tricalcium phosphate cement: preparation, characterization and bioactivity in SBF

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of silicon doping on the properties of Α-TCP cement was analyzed, and the Si-Alpha-CTP was obtained by a solid state reaction employing CaCO3, CaHPO4 and CaSiO3 and powder was analyzed by XRD, FTIR, XRF and BET specific area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of additional collagen in biphasic calcium phosphates: a study in a rabbit calvaria

TL;DR: The presence of collagen indicated neither significant impact on the resorption of the BCPs nor on bone formation, qualifying collagen as a biocompatible carrier for B CPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incorporation of 45S5 bioglass via sol-gel in β-TCP scaffolds: Bioactivity and antimicrobial activity evaluation.

TL;DR: In this paper, β-TCP (β-tricalcium phosphate) bioresorbable scaffolds were prepared by the gel casting method, and they were impregnated with a 45S5 bioglass sol gel solution to improve biocompatibility and promote bioactivity and antimicrobial activity.
