Development of bioactive bone cement and its clinical applications

Ceramics in Orthopaedics

“…They include calcium-phosphatebased bone cement and glass-ceramic bone cement. 42 A strong cement-bone interface is obtained by the formation of HA at the surface of the cement. Moreover, calcium phosphate cements are resorbable and are progressively replaced by newly-formed bone.…”

Fluoride‐Based Bioceramics

“…The paste made from AW-GC powder and an acrylic resin (bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate) hardens in a few minutes exhibiting a much lower curing temperature than a polym ethylmet hacryl ate (P MMA) cement [100] . Yama muro et al .…”

Vinyl carbonate photopolymers with improved mechanical properties for biomedical applications

“…To circumvent theses drawbacks, switching the structure from thermoplastics to thermoset networks was proposed by making use of dimethacrylates. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] These materials usually consist of a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and bisphenol A diglycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) together with a viscosity modifier (D3MA). Advantageous of this approach is the significantly lower polymerization exotherm compared to MMA resulting in considerably lower peak temperatures reducing the chance to suffer a necrosis.…”

“…Furthermore, these compounds exhibit decreased volumetric shrinkage along significantly increased stiffness. [17,23] Responsible for improved mechanical properties are the aromatic ring system and the urethane groups of these resins, whereas due to the difunctionality, (Figure 1) of UDMA, Bis-GMA, and D3MA was used as reference material referred to as 'MA. ' Tetra(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (TTeGDMA, ≥ 90%) was obtained from UCB.…”
