Strontium has been widely used in bone repair materials due to its roles promoting osteoclast apoptosis and enhancing osteoblast proliferation. In this work, synthesis the effects of Sr 2+ doping α-tricalcium phosphate at low-temperature was studied. The setting time mechanical properties were controlled by varying content . synthesized compounds evaluated XRD, SEM, XPS, time, compressive stren...

Abstract Snail ( Achatina fulica ) is one of the sources duck fodder commonly used by local breeders to meet protein needs poultry farms. However, its shells as a by-product are rarely and just become waste. To overcome this problem, we try utilize waste be source bioceramic. contain lot calcium which can precursor make bioceramics. One bioceramics that has potential tricalcium phosphate (TCP) ...

This study aimed to investigate the free calcium released from different brands of toothpaste after incorporation with a beta-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP)/amorphous (ACP) mixed powder and ?-TCP alone. Four were used for experiment: Nano-Bio Activation Toothpaste, Colgate Total Advanced Whitening BORONIA Herbal Whitening, BioMin F. The investigated ACP powders prepared by two-step sintering meth...

Nano SiO2 and MgO particles were incorporated into β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds to improve the mechanical and biological properties. The porous cylindrical β-TCP scaffolds doped with 0.5 wt % SiO2, 1.0 wt % MgO, 0.5 wt % SiO2 + 1.0 wt % MgO were fabricated via selective laser sintering respectively and undoped β-TCP scaffold was also prepared as control. The phase composition and me...

P-solubilizing microorganisms are a promising alternative for a sustainable use of P against a backdrop of depletion of high-grade rock phosphates (RPs). Nevertheless, toxic elements present in RPs, such as fluorine, can negatively affect microbial solubilization. Thus, this study aimed at selecting Aspergillus niger mutants efficient at P solubilization in the presence of fluoride (F-). The mu...

Zinc-containing β-tricalcium phosphate (ZnTCP) nano particles were injected into zinc-deficient rats to promote osteogenesis. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (4 weeks old, average weight of 70 g) were divided into four groups: Normal rats (not ovariectomized (OVX)), Control rats (OVX), and OVX rats injected with a suspension of ZnTCP nano particles or ZnSO(4). The ZnTCP contained 6.17% zinc. The suspe...

Functional tissue engineering for bone augmentation requires the appropriate combination of biomaterials, mesenchymal stem cells, and specific differentiation factors. Therefore, we investigated the morphology, attachment, viability, and proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells cultured in xeno-free conditions in human serum medium seeded on β-tricalcium phosphate/poly(l-lactic acid/caprol...

Alloplastic bone graft materials are widely been used in combination with barrier membranes to achieve guided tissue regeneration in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of a composite material, beta tricalcium phosphate in combination with calcium sulphate in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. The combination of t...

Bone augmentation requires scaffold to promote forming of natural bone structure. Currently, most of the reported bone scaffolds are porous solids with uniform pores. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of a graded porous β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds on alveolar bone augmentation. Three groups of scaffolds were fabricated by a template-casting method: (1) graded porous sc...

Ultrasonically accelerated dissolution of multiphase silicon stabilized tricalcium phosphate powders in water or Earle's balanced salt solution transforms the powders into needle-like calcium deficient apatite crystals with the c-axis (001) oriented along the needle. Ion exchange with the solution occurs primarily in the first hours of immersion. The transformation is driven by an interaction b...
