In the present paper, effect of La2O3 (0.25, 0.5 and 1 wt.%) addition on phase stability, porosity, density, hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength brittleness index hydroxyapatite modified with wt.% MgO was investigated. Hydroxyapatite (HA) without additives sintered at 1300?C has mixture dominant beta-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP), alpha-tricalcium (?-TCP) calcium oxide (CaO) phase...

Mesoporous beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has recently attracted significant interest as an artificial bone tissue in orthopedics. However, a scalable process is required to meet future demands. Spray drying one of the potential synthesis methods owing its low cost and production. In this study, various mesoporous β-TCP powders were calcined range 800 1100 °C, with particle sizes ranging fro...

Abstract Background Artificial bone graft substitutes (ABGS) for curettage of tumors are becoming increasingly popular. The aim this retrospective analysis was to determine the efficacy ABGS Cerasorb (Curasan-AG, Kleinostheim, Germany), a beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), concerning resorption profile, healing, and remodeling after surgery evaluate potential complications. Methods Forty-thr...
