| Summary: | Various formulations of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) have been developed
to get cement paste with optimum setting times, injection capabilities, as well as
mechanical and biological properties. This is important to ensure that CPC is
applicable for clinical uses as bone filler materials. The existing studies on CPC
have investigated factors affecting its properties which include liquid-to-powder
ratio, types of solid and liquid phases used, concentration of liquid phase, and
particle size of powder phase. One of the promising and interesting routes to
improve properties of CPC is by incorporating polymeric additives as setting
agents, such as gelatin, alginate, chitosan and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
The aim of this paper is to review the recent developments of CPC for bone filler
applications. |
