Physico-Chemical Characterization and <i>In Vitro</i> Biological Evaluation of Pure SiHA for Bone Tissue Engineering Application

Abstract: Abstract. Studies about silicon-substituted hydroxyapatites exhibit several shortcomings that leave unanswered questions regarding the properties and subsequent biological outcomes generated by this biomaterial. Firstly, samples characterization is often incomplete, meaning that phase purity on the pellet surface is not assured. In fact, ceramic materials used in literature that are claimed to be pure are actually polluted through second phase as superficial polymerized silicate.In this study, we have successf… Show more

“…In this field, silicon is known to influence the strength, the formation and the calcification of the bone tissue [7,8], and this has led to the development of silicon containing biomaterials [9]. Among these biomaterials particular attention has been given to silicated hydroxyapatite (SiHA, Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6−x (SiO 4 ) x (OH) 2−x ) ceramics [10][11][12], whose biological properties are currently being investigated [13][14][15]. Functionalizing the surface with specific biomolecules [16] could increase HA ceramics biointegration by stimulating the behavior of the cells involved in angiogenesis and/or osteogenesis.…”

“…For instance in another study of Kumar et al, is the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, seeded on etched poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds, induced by surface roughness or surface chemistry change (112) ? It is also unfortunate that series of studies on in vivo and in vitro evaluation of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite ceramics would have been published without any information about the real phase composition of the samples (110,113), when it was recently shown that even small changes of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite ceramic phase composition drastically modify cellular responses (114,115).…”

“…Hydroxyapatite (HA) is among the most widely used bone replacement materials due to its strong affinity with the mineral component of bones; it possesses good bioactivity, osteoconductivity and biocompatibility with the human bone tissue. 1,2 Although, stoichiometric Hydroxyapatite (HA) -Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 has been a widely used model for the apatite present in the bone tissues for many years, the chemical composition of biological apatites differs from the stoichiometric HA. 3 The biological apatites are uniquely similar in that they all comprise carbonate in varying amounts of 2-8 wt.…”
