                        4 ceramic was investigated. This material is envisaged to have biomedical dental applications such as burrs and surgical instruments. Two fibroblast cell culture systems were used to address the cytotoxicity of NCD-coated samples: L929 cells (a mouse permanent cell line) and human gingival fibroblasts. Cell behavior was evaluated in terms of cell adhesion, cell viability/proliferation (mitochondrial function, MTT assay) and the pattern of cell growth. Fibroblast cell behavior on standard polystyrene culture plates was used as control, as Si
                        3N
                        4 substrates have previously been shown to be biocompatible. NCD coatings provided a suitable surface for cell attachment, spreading and proliferation. Human gingival cells showed a homogeneous cytoplasm spreading, a flattened elongated morphology and a typical parallel alignment on confluent cultures. In comparison, L929 cells denoted a lower cytoplasm expansion, a heterogeneous spreading but a higher proliferation rate. For both cells, after few days, the NCD coating was completely covered with continuous cell layers. As compared to standard polystyrene culture plates, no deleterious or cytotoxic responses were observed with L929 and human fibroblast cell cultures, and in both a slight enhancement in cell proliferation was observed. In addition, the seeded NCD film allowed reproduction of the typical features of the two cell culture systems tested, further suggesting the lack of cytotoxicity of this coating. {\textcopyright} 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

A virtual 3D structure model was created and a computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling device machined Bonelike                        {\textregistered} samples. The resulting structures showed a reproducible macroporosity and interconnective structure. Macropores size after sintering was approximately 2000~μm. In vitro testing using human bone marrow stroma showed that cells were able to adhere and proliferate on 3D structures surface and migrate into all macropore channels. In addition, these cells were able to differentiate, since mineralized globular structures associated with cell layer were identified. Results obtained showed that 3D structures of Bonelike
                        {\textregistered} successfully allow cell migration into all macropores, and allow human bone marrow stromal cells to proliferate and differentiate. This innovative technique may be considered as a step-forward preparation for 3D interconnective macroporous structures that allow bone ingrowth while maintaining mechanical integrity. {\textcopyright} 2008 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {We attempted to prepare chitosan-silicate hybrid for use in a medical application and evaluated the physico-chemical properties and osteocompatibility of the hybrids as a function of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) concentration. Chitosan-silicate hybrids were synthesized using GPTMS as the reagent for cross-linking of the chitosan chains. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,                        29Si CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy and the ninhydrin assay were used to analyze the structures of the hybrids, and stress-strain curves were recorded to estimate their Young{\textquoteright}s modulus. The swelling ability, contact angle and cytocompatibility of the hybrids were investigated as a function of the GPTMS concentration. A certain fraction of GPTMS in each hybrid was linked at the epoxy group to the amino group of chitosan, which was associated with the change in the methoxysilane group of GPTMS due to hybridization. The cross-linking density was around 80\% regardless of the volume of GPTMS. As the content of GPTMS increased, the water uptake decreased and the hydrophilicity of the hybrids increased except when the content exceeded amolar ratio of 1.5, when it caused a decrease. The values of the mechanical parameters assessed indicated that significant stiffening of the hybrids was obtained by the addition of GPTMS. The adhesion and proliferation of the MG63 osteoblast cells cultured on the chitosan-GPTMS hybrid surface were improved compared to those on the chitosan membrane, regardless of the GPTMS concentration. Moreover, human bone marrow osteoblast cells proliferated on the chitosan-GPTMS hybrid surface and formed a fibrillar extracellular matrix with numerous calcium phosphate globular structures, both in the presence and in the absence of dexamethasone. Therefore, the chitosan-GPTMS hybrids are promising candidates for basic materials that can promote bone regeneration because of their controllable composition (chitosan/GPTMS ratio). {\textcopyright} 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

	abstract = {Biomodel is a product of rapid prototyping process that represents a new approach for surgical planning and simulation. Biomodels were found to be particularly effective to locate an exact defect with good measurement accuracy and without any risk to the patients{\textquoteright} health. These models could provide surgeons a realistic impression of complex structures before surgical intervention, allowing a define diagnosis and a precise preoperative simulation of skeleton modifying interventions. This work reports on the application of innovative 3-D biomodelling technology in the maxillofacial reconstruction. This technology allows for the calculation of the exact contours, angulations, length and general morphology of iliac crest and fibula flaps for maxillofacial reconstruction in a total of 28 clinical cases. Clinical results have shown that by using this technique, much better facial symmetry and improved functionality were achieved after surgery, which resulted in enormous benefits for treated patients. {\textcopyright} 2008 Elsevier B.V.

                        4 polished substrates were coated with adherent DLC coatings grown by DC magnetron sputtering to reduce of the friction forces against any antagonist material. Surface characterization results showed that the developed material is quite hydrophobic, with a total surface tension of 45.7~mN/m (polar component: 9.1~mN/m; dispersive component: 36.6~mN/m), and a zeta potential of - 35.0 {\textpm} 1.3~mV. In vitro testing using an acellular simulated body fluid (SBF) showed no apatite layer formation ability, as confirmed by SEM observation and analysis of the solution ions concentration with immersion time. MG63 osteoblast-like cells showed poor adhesion on the DLC films but the adherent cells displayed a normal morphology and, as compared to standard polystyrene tissue culture plates, exhibited a higher cell growth rate, suggesting no indication of cytotoxicity. Results suggested that the novel DLC-coated Si

	abstract = {The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological behaviour of porous scaffold structures of Bonelike                        {\textregistered} which is suitable for either direct clinical use or tissue engineering applications. Porous cylindrical specimens 8 {\texttimes} 10 mm were implanted in the lateral aspect of the tibia of 13 patients (mean age 54 years), during osteotomy surgery for the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. Implanted cylinders were retrieved at the same time as the removal of the blade plates at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Scanning electron microscopy and histological evaluations were performed to observe the biological responses of human bone tissue to porous Bonelike
                        {\textregistered}. The penetration depth was determined for all implantation periods, and after 6 months it was already possible to see new bone in the centre of the implanted cylinders, which gives 100\% of penetration depth for all implantations periods except for 3 months when bone could only be seen in the peripherical region. Regarding the percentage of the area covered by new bone calculated from two-dimensional histological sections, values of 53 {\textpm} 15, 76 {\textpm} 12 and 88 {\textpm} 9\% were achieved for 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively. Due to its structural features porous Bonelike
                        {\textregistered} permitted effective vascularization and bone ingrowth, and therefore was fully osteointegrated as shown in the histological surveys. A slow biomaterial degradation with implantation time is envisaged since the material has displayed surface degradation. Bonelike
                        {\textregistered} scaffolds show potential for complete ingrowth of osseous tissue and restoration of vascularization throughout the defected site. {\textcopyright} 2007.

Bonelike{\textregistered} is implanted in 11 patients, aged between 24 and 53 years with a mean age of 36 years, consisting of 5 men and 6 women. According to the standard follow up protocols, radiological examinations are performed and Bonelike{\textregistered} /bone retrieved samples have been analyzed histologically using non-decalcified sections obtained perpendicular to bone length axis. Radiographic examination and histological results clearly demonstrate an extensive new bone formation apposed on Bonelike{\textregistered} granules with a significant degree of maturation. These clinical applications in maxillary bone defects indicate perfect bone bonding between new bone formed and Bonelike{\textregistered} granules, along with partial surface biodegradation. This quick and effective osteoconductive response from Bonelike{\textregistered} may reduce the time needed to reconstruct the bone defected area of patients. {\textcopyright} 2008 Sage Publications.},

	abstract = {Previous in vitro studies confirmed an improved cytocompatibility of chitosan-silicate hybrid membranes over chitosan membranes. The main goal of this study was to assess the in vivo histocompatibility of both membranes through subcutaneous implantations at different time periods, 1 week, 1, 2 and 3 months, using a sheep model. Chitosan membranes elicited an exuberant inflammatory response and were consequently rejected. The hybrid chitosan membranes were not rejected and the degree of inflammatory response decreased gradually until the third month of implantation. Histological evaluation also showed that these membranes can be resorbed in vivo. This study demonstrates that the incorporation of silicate into the chitosan solution improves its histocompatibility, indicating that the hybrid chitosan-silicate membranes are suitable candidates to be used in clinical applications.},

	abstract = {Purpose: Multiple myeloma, the second most common haematopoietic cancer, which represents the collection of plasma-cell neoplasms that invariably becomes fatal when self-renewing myeloma cells begin unrestrained proliferation. The major clinical manifestation of multiple myeloma is related to the loss of bone through osteolysis. This can lead to pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, hypercalcaemia, and pain. It is also a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients, who frequently require radiation therapy, surgery and analgesic medications. Bisphosphonates are specific inhibitors of osteoclastic activity, and are currently used to prevent bone complications and to treat malignant hypercalcaemia in patients with multiple myeloma, or bone metastases from breast and prostate cancers. Hence, osteonecrosis of the mandible has been reported in three patients from Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova de Gaia (CHVNG) with multiple myeloma treated for over 18-48 months with intravenous zoledronate, commonly prescribed for multiple myeloma therapy. Although, this report alerts clinicians about the potential complication of bone necrosis in patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy, many questions remain concerning the underlying pathogenesis of this process. Patients and methods: The medical and dental records of three patients with multiple myeloma, who were treated in CHVNG in the past 4 years, were reviewed. These three patients presented exposed bone and osteonecrosis of the mandible, and shared one common clinical feature: all of them were treated with bisphosphonate zoledronate, administered intravenously for long periods. Sequential orthopantomograms (OPGs) and histological evaluation have been analysed from the biopsies of the non healing dental extraction sites of these patients. Results: After a routine dental extraction, these patients developed avascular osteonecrosis of the mandible and secondary bone infection with Actinomyces israelii (actinomycotic osteomyelitis), with no evidence of metastatic disease evaluated by biopsy. In these three described clinical cases, surgical debridment without flap elevation, intensive antibiotherapy and the suspension of the zoledronate treatment allowed a partial recovery of the patients. The purpose of this clinical report is to point out that patients suffering from multiple myeloma can develop bone osteonecrosis induced by treatment with bisphosphonates. Research to determine the mechanism of this dental phenomenon is needed to fully validate and substantiate the possible link between bisphosphonate treatment of multiple myeloma or other cancer diseases and avascular osteonecrosis of the jaws. Until then, clinicians involved in the care of patients at risk should consider this possible complication. {\textcopyright} 2006 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.},

	abstract = {Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings combine a very low surface roughness with the outstanding diamond properties, such as superlative hardness, low self-friction coefficient, high wear and corrosion resistance, and biotolerance, which are ideal features for applications in medicine (knee and hip replacement) and surgical tools. The present work presents a comprehensive study of the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of NCD films grown by hot-filament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD) technique, aiming such future applications. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro by seeding human gingival fibroblasts on the NCD surface for 14 days, while specific biocompatibility was assessed on samples seeded with human bone marrow-derived osteoblasts during 21 days. The NCD coatings proved to be noncytotoxic in the preliminary human gingival fibroblast cell cultures, as denoted by a notable sequence of cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation events. In the specific biocompatibility assay envisaging bone tissue applications, NCD coatings induced human osteoblast proliferation and the stimulation of differentiation markers, compared to standard polystyrene tissue culture plates.

	abstract = {Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) has a great potential for prosthetic implants coating. Nevertheless, its biocompatibility still has to be better understood. To do so, we employed several materials characterization techniques (SEM, AFM, micro-Raman spectroscopy) and cell culture assays using MG63 osteoblast-like and human bone marrow cells. Biochemical routines (MTT assays, Lowry{\textquoteright}s method, ALP activity) supported by SEM and confocal microscopy characterization were carried out. We used silicon nitride (Si                        3N
                        4) substrates for NCD coatings based on a previous demonstration of the superior adhesion and tribological performance of these NCD coated ceramics. Results demonstrate an improved human osteoblast proliferation and the stimulation of differentiated markers, like ALP activity and matrix mineralization, compared with standard polystyrene tissue culture plates. The nanometric featuring of NCD, associated to its chemical affinity are key points for bone regeneration purposes. {\textcopyright} 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

	abstract = {Two synthetic calcium phosphates in porous wedge shape, Bonelike{\textregistered} and a commercial HA/β-TCP biphasic material, were used as an alternative to bone autografts and allografts in the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis of varus knees. The structure of Bonelike{\textregistered} has a 3D architecture that is computer controlled, and a composition that mimics the mineral composition of natural bone. The HA/β-TCP biphasic material used as a control material in this study was prepared using conventional foaming based methods. No signs of inflammatory reactions were observed post-operatively for both materials. After 4 months signs of fusion at the osteotomy site and good integration of the implanted wedges were observed, showing good mechanical resistance. Concerning the final correction attained, the left knee revealed a satisfactory valgus of 10{\textdegree}, but the right one only had a final value of 6{\textdegree}. The clinical evaluation using International Knee Score (IKS) showed good outcome in all parameters with complete range of motion in both knees and climbing stairs without crutches with only slight pain. {\textcopyright} 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.},

The degradation testing at pH 3.0 showed a higher weight loss compared with degradation testing at pH 7.4; the weight loss under the acidic condition after 1 day (24 h) was about 10 times higher than the weight loss after 42 days of immersion at pH 7.4.

The glass ceramic showed similar degradation to hydroxyapatite, and therefore has potential to be used in certain clinical applications where relatively slow resorption of the implant and replacement by bone is required, e.g. cranioplasty. {\textcopyright} 2006 Acta Materialia Inc.

	abstract = {Synthetic bone grafts have been developed to provide an alternative to autografts and allografts. Bonelike{\textregistered} is a patented synthetic osteoconductive bone graft that mimics the mineral composition of natural bone. In the present preliminary animal studies a user-friendly version of synthetic bone graft Bonelike{\textregistered} have been developed by using a resorbable matrix, Floseal{\textregistered}, as a vehicle and raloxifene hydrochloride as a therapeutic molecule, that is known to decrease osteoclast activity and therefore enhanced bone formation. From histological and scanning electron microscopy evaluations, the use of Bonelike{\textregistered} associated with Floseal{\textregistered} and raloxifene hydrochloride showed that new bone was rapidly apposed on implanted granules and also that the presence of the matrix and therapeutic molecule does not alter the proven highly osteoconductivity properties of Bonelike{\textregistered}. Therefore, this association may be one step-forward for the clinical applications of Bonelike{\textregistered} scaffolds since it is much more easy-to-handle when compared to granular materials. {\textcopyright} 2006 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {In healthy bone, resorption and synthesis are in perfect coordination. In previous studies we demonstrated that the incorporation of silicon into the hydroxyapatite (HA) lattice enhances the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts. Therefore, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of silicon-substituted HA (0.8 and 1.5 wt \% Si-HA) on the differentiation of mononuclear cells into osteoclasts, using two different starting cultures, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and monocytes expressing the CD14 antigen (CD14                        +). Through this study, it was possible to demonstrate that Si-HA allows the differentiation of mononuclear cells into mature osteoclasts, independent of the starting culture, PBMC or CD14
                        +. Most of the cells on the surface of the materials expressed osteoclastic markers: actin rings, several nuclei, positivity for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and vitronectin receptor. In the presence of osteoclasts, a higher release of calcium and phosphate into the medium from the 1.5 wt \% Si-HA substrate was detected when compared to the HA substrate; therefore, these results indicate higher osteoclastic resorptive activity on the 1.5 wt \% Si-HA surface. Si-HA can be resorbed by cellular mechanisms and have a stimulatory effect on osteoclasts, although the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood. {\textcopyright} 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

	abstract = {Synthetic bone grafts provide an alternative to autografts and allografts. Bonelike{\textregistered} is a patented synthetic bone graft that mimics the mineral composition of bone. The aim of the present work was to assess the biological behavior of Bonelike{\textregistered} graft in humans, before using the material in orthopedic applications of bone regeneration, for example, in opening wedge high tibial osteotomies for medial knee osteoarthritis. Bonelike{\textregistered} granules were implanted in cortical bone of 11 patients undergoing osteotomies, and new bone formation, osteoconductive properties, and resorption characteristics of the granules were analyzed. The granules ranged from 500 to 1000 μm and were implanted in the lateral aspect of the tibia. The patients{\textquoteright} mean age was 59 years (range 48 to 70 years); there were eight women and three men, all suffering from medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. At surgery, a 1 {\texttimes} 1 {\texttimes} 1-cm cortical defect was created 3 cm distal to the entry point of the screws, in line with the long axis of tibia. The implanted Bonelike{\textregistered} graft sample was extracted for analysis during removal of the metallic prosthesis after implantation times of 6, 9, and 12 months. Radiological follow-up, scanning electron microscopy, histological analysis, and histomorphometric measurements were conducted on the retrieved samples to assess bone regeneration in the defect area. Osteoconductive capacity was demonstrated by extensive mature bone formation around the implanted granules and high levels of percentage bone-to-graft contact (from 67-84\%). Bonelike{\textregistered} acted as an excellent bioactive scaffold, allowing the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of bone cells on its surface, and therefore regeneration of the defects was achieved in a rapid, controlled manner. Our results suggest that Bonelike{\textregistered} graft is an excellent candidate for orthopedic applications where rapid new bone formation is a fundamental requirement. {\textcopyright} 2006 Orthopaedic Research Society.

	abstract = {Human osteoblasts were cultured on hydroxyapatite (HA), 0.8 wt \% silicon substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) and 1.5 wt \% Si-HA discs. The influence of these substrates on cell behaviour in vitro was assessed by measuring total protein in the cell lysate and the production of several phenotypic markers: collagen type I (COL 1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), and the formation of bone mineral. After 7 days, β-glycerophosphate and physiological levels of hydrocortisone were added to the culture medium to stimulate cell differentiation and mineral production. There was a significantly higher production of ALP on 1.5 wt \% Si-HA at day 7 following which, the addition of hydrocortisone promoted the differentiation of cells on the other two substrates. Hydrocortisone addition also decreased the production of OC. During the period, when hydrocortisone was present, no significant difference in behavior was seen between cells on Si-HA and HA; however, following removal of hydrocortisone, cells responded to 0.8 wt \% Si-HA with a significant increase in protein production. Using fluorescence microscopy, nodular structures labeled with tetracycline were observed on the surface of all substrates after 21 days. These structures were deposited on areas of high cell density but were not related to the presence or level of silicon in the substrate. These results indicate that human osteoblasts are affected by the presence of silicon in the HA substrate and that the timing of these effects may be dependent upon the level of silicon substitution. {\textcopyright} 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.},

To assess the in vivo biological behavior of these glass ceramics, a mixed granulometry in the range 250-355 μm and 355-425 μm with a ratio of 1/1 was implanted for 2, 4, and 12 weeks in the tibiae of Japanese white rabbits. The results showed that the in vivo behavior was strongly affected by their solubility. All implanted materials, MK5B and MT13B, and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) as control material, showed signs of degradation in vivo. However, the levels of degradation were quite different throughout the implantation periods. The highest degradation was observed for MK5B glass ceramic and the lowest for MT13B with β-TCP in-between. All implanted materials allow for new bone formation in the bone defect area. At the longest implantation period (12 weeks), the MT13B and β-TCP materials were almost completely surrounded by new bone tissue, whereas MK5B showed some unfilled spaces. This behavior is discussed in terms of the high degradation observed in previous studies. {\textcopyright} 2006 SAGE Publications.

	abstract = {The aim of the study was to evaluate the direct bone bonding and osteointegration of the commercial pure (cp Ti) implants coated with Bonelike{\textregistered} synthetic bone graft by plasma spraying. The Bonelike{\textregistered} coated implant was placed in the mandible of a 40-year-old patient and it was removed after a healing period of 3 months with a trephine of 6 mm diameter. The structure of the coating and new bone/implant interface of retrieved samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histological analysis using light microscopy. In vivo microstructure observations of Bonelike{\textregistered} coated retrieved implants showed excellent bone remnants on its surface without any tissue and inflammatory signs observed. The reported Bonelike{\textregistered} coated (cp Ti) implants improved primary stability, which may increase the lifetime of the implant. Bonelike{\textregistered} coated dental implants proved to be highly bioactive with extensive new bone formation and strongly bonded to Bonelike{\textregistered} coating. {\textcopyright} 2005 Elsevier B.V.

In order to facilitate the medical application of the Bonelike{\textregistered} graft the use of a commercially available polymeric vehicle was also analyzed. Radiological examination, histological studies and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed that the surface of Bonelike{\textregistered} granules was almost completely surrounded by new bone formation after 12 weeks of implantation, which proves its highly osteoconductive behaviour.},

	abstract = {This paper reports the ability of Bonelike{\textregistered} to regenerate bone defected areas when implanted in the tibia of 3 patients (average age of 59 years) during a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to treat medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. Bonelike{\textregistered} is a synthetic bone graft designed to mimic the inorganic composition of bone using a patent process that consists of liquid sintering hydroxyapatite in the presence of CaO-P                        2O
                        5 based glass. The preliminary clinical evaluation performed showed that an intimate contact between new formed bone and Bonelike{\textregistered} was established (67{\textpm}10\%), with no fibrous interface. Therefore, Bonelike{\textregistered} is a single-handedly viable osteoconductive synthetic grafting material as it has been demonstrated from the profiles of radiological, histological and scanning electron microscopy analyses for the six months implantation period.

	abstract = {Bonelike{\textregistered}/PLGA hybrid materials have been developed using γ-MPS as silane-coupling agent between the inorganic and organic phases for controlled drug delivery applications. Silanization showed to be more effective when cyclohexane was used as a non-polar solvent (nP method) due to a chemical interaction between Bonelike{\textregistered}, and the silane film, while by using a 95/5 (V/V) methanol/water as a polar solvent (P method), a much thinner film was achieved. Functional groups of PLGA, such as the carbonyl group (C=O), were identified using Raman and FTIR-ATR analysis and therefore these groups may be used to link therapeutic molecules. These novel hybrid materials prepared by combining silanization and post-hybridisation processes are expected to find use in medical applications of bone regeneration and as drug delivery carrier for therapeutic molecules. {\textcopyright} 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.},

The antibiotics used in this study were metronidazole, a specific antibiotic indicated for the systemic treatment of periodontitis, and ampicillin, a wide spectrum antibiotic. UV spectroscopy was used to measure the amount of drug adsorbed onto HA and GR-HA granules. Results showed that metronidazole was unable to adsorb on the material{\textquoteright}s surface, as opposed to ampicillin which adsorbed both onto HA and GR-HA. Preliminary release kinetics studies were carried out using a flow through dissolution system. Results are discussed in terms of the influence of the different surface characteristics of the materials on the adsorption processes. {\textcopyright} 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.

	abstract = {This study aims to develop glass ceramics in the calcium phosphate system that exhibit suitable properties to be used for biomedical applications. Calcium phosphate glasses with the incorporation of small additions of MgO and TiO                        2 oxides were prepared in the pyro-and orthophosphate regions. The glass ceramics were prepared by a controlled powder sintering process through heat-treatment at different temperatures, as defined by results from differential thermal analysis (DTA). The composition of the crystalline phases precipitated in the glassy matrix as a result of heat treatments at different temperatures, ranging from 681 to 725 {\textdegree}C, was determined from X-ray diffraction data. The sequence of phase crystallization in the mother glass was also studied in situ using high temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) analysis. Results showed that the first phases that precipitated in the glass matrix were α- and β-Ca

	abstract = {The adhesion of bovine collagen type I, bovine serum albumin, bovine IgG, 1 \% and 10 \% (v/v) human serum to hydroxyapatite (HA), silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) and tissue culture plastic were studied. The materials were incubated at 37{\textdegree}C for 30 minutes, after which the protein solution was removed and analyzed. The adsorbed protein was evaluated by electrophoresis and immunoassay after extraction from the materials. The degree of adhesion was higher for collagen, followed by IgG and albumin on all materials. However there was no difference in the amount of collagen adsorbed onto the surface of each material and this was also the finding with albumin and IgG. These results suggest that the increased bioactivity seen with Si-HA is not due to the degree of protein adhesion, but may possibly be due to changes in the conformation of the bound proteins.},

The amino groups of chitosan chains were reacted with the epoxy groups of GPSM and GPSM have a function as the agent to cross-link the chitosan chains. The cross-linking degree of the hybrid membranes was determined by ninhydrin assay. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and                        29Si cross-polarization (CP) magic-angle spinning (MAS)-NMR spectroscopy were used to assess the structure of the hybrid membranes. The biodegradability of the hybrid membranes in phosphate-buffered saline solution or lysozyme solution was investigated as a function of the GPSM concentration.

Cytocompatibility of the hybrids was investigated in terms of proliferation of an osteoblastic cell line, MG63. The adhesion and proliferation of the osteoblastic cells cultured on the surface of a chitosan-GPSM hybrid without calcium were similar to those on a control culture plate, and were better than those on a chitosan membrane. The ALP activity of the cells cultured on this hybrid was higher than that on the chitosan membrane. Contrary to expectations, the incorporation of calcium ions into the hybrids did not improve cell attachment and proliferation on their surfaces. {\textcopyright} 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

                        2 glass ceramic. The in vitro biological activity of the two calcium phosphate glass ceramics was studied with the use of human bone marrow osteoblast cell cultures maintained for 28 days, and seeded materials were assessed for cell proliferation and function. The Ti-containing glass ceramic showed a stable surface throughout the culture time, on macroscopic and SEM observation. Osteoblast cells proliferated gradually, especially during the third week, with a high alkaline phosphatase activity and formation of a mineralized matrix. On SEM observation, attached cells appeared with a spreadpolygonal morphology typical of the osteoblast cells, with extensive cell-to-cell contact. Cell behavior on the seeded material was similar to that found on cultures performed on tissue-culture-grade polystyrene; except for the presence of lower cell numbers during the first 2 weeks. By contrast, the K-containing glass ceramic showed a highly instable surface with dissolution/precipitation processes occurring throughout the culture time. Few cells adhered to the material surface, and subsequent proliferation was also hindered, especially from the first week onwards. Cell numbers were significantly lower than those observed in the Ti-containing glass ceramic during most of the incubation time. Results suggest that the different in vitro biological behavior of these two glass ceramics is mainly due to the significant differences in the surface degradation rate, which is directly correlated to the chemical composition of the mother glass. {\textcopyright} 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

                        2O, in mol \%) using MG63 osteoblast-like cells cultured for 6 days. The influence of a 24h pretreatment with culture medium before cell culture was also evaluated (MT13Bi; MK5Bi). Both "as-received" and pre-treated material samples supported cell growth, which increased with the culture time. Pre-treatment resulted in an increase of adhered cells on both materials (day 1). Throughout the culture time (days 3 and 6), MT13Bi presented higher cell numbers than that of MT13B, but no differences were found between MK5Bi and MK5B. In addition, cell growth was significantly lower in the K-containing glass ceramic in both experimental situations comparing with Ti-containing glass ceramic. SEM and confocal microscopy observation showed that cell adhesion and spreading were hampered on MK5B samples. Evident macroscopic and microscopic surface instability was observed on this material with simultaneous dissolution/precipitation processes. By contrast, MT13B presented a relatively stable surface throughout the culture time. Results suggest that the pre-incubation with culture medium improves the adhesion of the osteoblast cells to both glass ceramics and that the high degradation rate of MK5B hinders the in vitro biological performance of this material.

The effect of the solvents on the polylactide/hydroxyapatite composites was investigated by TEM, mechanical properties, sedimentation time and UV-Vis transmission spectra. The results indicate that the polylactide/hydroxyapatite prepared using tetrahydrofuran as solvent has better dispersion of the hydroxyapatite filler in the matrix and larger bend strength than the one using chloroform as solvent. This is ascribed to the proper interaction between the solvent and hydroxyapatite filler.},

	abstract = {RF sputtering may be used to produce thin, well adherent bioactive coatings with long term stability to ensure contact with bone tissue. RF Sputtered Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were produced onto Ti at 200 and 150 W. S.E.M. analysis indicated that films obtained with 200 W were thicker than those with 150 W. Significant variations were observed, depending on the location of the substrates with respect to the sample holder in the sputtering chamber, with thickness ranging from 1.8 to 3.2 μm. EDS analysis of 200 W films revealed the presence of Ca and P, in ratios typical of HA. XPS of thinner films obtained at 150 W, showed Ca and P, but also some carbonate probably partially substituting OH. Anodic polarisation curves of samples coated at 200 W and 150 W and for different sputtering times, compared to Ti substrate, indicate that HA films were protective and that the degree of protection increased with film thickness, i.e., with power intensity and time of deposition.},

This work evaluates the response of human bone marrow cells to Bonelike{\textregistered} concerning cell proliferation and osteoblast differentiation. HA was used as control material. Results showed that Bonelike{\textregistered} allowed the proliferation of bone marrow cells and their complete differentiation, as evidenced by the formation of cell-mediated mineralisation. In comparison with HA, Bonelike{\textregistered} had a positive effect on the expression of alkaline phosphatase and also on the formation of a mineralised matrix, two osteoblast markers.

	abstract = {The present work consisted in assessing the in vivo biological behaviour of novel Bonelike{\textregistered}/PLGA hybrid materials through subcutaneous and tibiae implantations for a 4 week period using an animal model. No sign of inflammation was observed as a result of subcutaneous implantation, which reveals that these materials were well-tolerated by the soft tissues. pQ-CT analysis demonstrated that the implanted materials were highly osteointegrated in bone tissue. SEM analysis at bone defect area revealed that Bonelike{\textregistered} resorption occurred after 4 weeks of implantation. Although the osteoconductive properties of Bonelike{\textregistered} have been reported in literature, the present work allowed to demonstrate that the silane-coupling agent and the PLGA treatments do not significantly modify the biological performance of Bonelike{\textregistered}. This result is strongly encouraging since Bonelike{\textregistered}/PLGA hybrid materials are being developed for bone tissue healing/regeneration purposes with simultaneous delivery of therapeuthic molecules.},

	abstract = {In order to evaluate how the characteristics of starting HA powders affect their dispersion ability, several tests were made, including particle size distribution, particle morphology (SEM) and rheological measurements of the suspensions. To enable the preparation of concentrated suspensions as high as possible, the influence of deagglomeration procedure on rheological behaviour of hydroxyapatite aqueous suspensions was evaluated. The results revealed significant differences in the dispersing ability of the powders and on the maximum achievable solids loading. In fact, the maximum solids volume fraction that was possible to incorporate in the initial suspension of HA                        R was only 35-vol.\%, while with the HA
                        S it has been possible to start from 45-vol.\% suspensions. Ball milling revealed to be more efficient than planetary milling in the preparation of HA
                        R suspensions, and enabled to achieve a maximum solids volume fraction of 45-vol.\% at the end of long milling period, which included successive incremental additions of powder. The powder HA
                        S exhibited a much better dispersing ability, enabling the preparation of 60-vol.\% solids only after two hours of planetary milling.

	abstract = {Surface treatment of materials with excimer laser radiation often results in the formation of a rough columnar or cone-shaped surface topography, which leads to a considerable increase in the surface area. As a result, the search for a non-porous bioactive material with adequate mechanical properties and a high surface to volume ratio, similar to porous materials, which could be used for drug delivery in the treatment of periodontitis, justified assessing excimer laser surface treatment to promote controlled roughning of hydroxyapatite (HA) and glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite (GR-HA). A KrF excimer laser with 248nm radiation wavelength and 30ns pulse duration was used for surface modification. The laser treatment was carried out in air, using wide ranges of radiation fluence and number of laser pulses. In order to identify the physico-chemical changes induced by the laser treatment and the column formation mechanisms in these materials, the treated surfaces were characterised by laser profilometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). Laser processing induced the formation of a surface topography consisting of cone-shaped features. The constitution of the surface layer was also modified, as revealed by FTIR, XPS and XRD. This work has shown that laser surface modification increases the surface area of HA and GR-HA and is a promising technique to increase the reactivity and drug delivery capability of both materials. {\textcopyright} 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

The porous hydroxyapatite prepared by the burn-out method exhibits all these features. For measuring porosity, SEM analysis, mercury intrusion porosimetry and BET were used.

Experiments were carried out by immersing granule samples for a period up to 90 days in Trisbuffer solution at pH 7.4, in the presence and absence of a foetal bovine serum (FBS). The release of calcium, phosphorus, and potassium ions as well as the amount of protein adsorbed was followed by several techniques. The results obtained seem to indicate that the adsorption of proteins on the surface of the material, although causing an initial delay in the degradation, does not hamper the ionic exchange and therefore it is not a barrier for the degradation of the glass ceramic.

	abstract = {Recent histological studies have demonstrated that the substitution of silicate ions into hydroxyapatite (HA) significantly increases the rate of bone apposition to HA implants. The enhanced bioactivity of silicon-substituted HA (Si-HA) over pure HA has been attributed to the effect of silicate ions in accelerating dissolution. In the present study, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) was employed to compare dissolution of HA and Si-HA in an acellular simulated body fluid (SBF) to dissolution in an in vivo model. HR-TEM observations confirmed a difference in morphology of apatite precipitates in vivo and in SBF: apatite deposits were platelike in vivo and nodular in SBF. Compositional mapping suggested that preferential dissolution of silicon from the implant promotes the nucleation of carbonate apatite around the implant. The in vivo findings illustrated an absence of dissolution at the bone-HA or Si-HA interface, whereas dissolution was extensive from within the implant. The amount of dissolution in acellular SBF was similar to dissolution from within the implant, although the site at which the dissolution nucleates was different: dissolution predominates at the crystallite surfaces in SBF, whereas grain boundary dissolution predominates in vivo. These findings suggest that proteins in the in vivo milieu modify the processes of dissolution from the implant. {\textcopyright} 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.},

	abstract = {In the continuous agitation assays, glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite (GR-HA) was shown to form a calcium phosphate (CaP) layer, but hydroxyapatite (HA) only formed dispersed precipitates. The formation of this layer was first detected on the GR-HA with a 7.5\% glass addition (7.5 GR-HA) after only 3 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). The time required for layer formation decreased as the amount of glass added to the HA increased. The dissolution rate of the materials followed a similar pattern, i.e. the dissolution rate for GR-HA was higher than for HA, and increased with the addition of glass. The immersion of 7.5 GR-HA in water showed almost linear dissolution kinetics over the immersion periods (3, 7, 15, 30 and 60 days). The concentration of calcium ions in solution and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the 7.5 GR-HA specimens immersed in water and in SBF revealed a clear competition between the material dissolution and the precipitation of a CaP phase. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy with alternated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) analysis indicated that the CaP phase that formed during longer immersion times (30 and 60 days) could be a carbonate-substituted CaP precipitate. As expected from previous work, the GR-HA behavior in terms of its in vitro bioactivity is higher than HA because a homogeneous CaP layer is formed and the precipitation occurs faster. From the dissolution test and in accordance with the chemical composition of the samples, GR-HA was more soluble than HA. {\textcopyright} 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

                        4 ceramic phase and 30 wt\% bioglass, the later performing as a liquid sintering aid system and simultaneously providing bioactivity characteristics to the composite. The conditions for fabrication of an almost fully dense material (\~{}98\% of relative density) were pursued. Optimised parameters were 1350{\textdegree}C-40min-30 MPa by hot-pressing technique. The very fast densification rate of the process avoided the crystallisation of the bioglass intergranular phase and therefore its intrinsic properties were maintained. Also, the large amount of glassy phase assured the densification by liquid phase assisted grain rearrangement without Si

These values provide an attractive set of properties among other bioactive materials, namely by upgrading the main drawback of bioceramics and bioglasses for high-load medical applications, which is the lack of satisfactory fracture toughness. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The produced samples were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, differential thermal analysis and mercury porosimetry. The techniques used in this study enabled the production of glass reinforced hydroxyapatite samples with various pore diameters. Two different techniques were used to produce porous glass reinforced hydroxyapatite samples: a dry method using wax spheres as pore formers and a wet method in alcoholic suspension, where almond crust and potato starch were used as pore formers. The final microstructure consists of hydroxyapatite, α-tricalcium phosphate and β-tricalcium phosphate. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed different percentages of phases when comparing dense and porous glass reinforced hydroxyapatite specimens.

                        2. The composites were obtained by wet mixing 4.0\% (w/w) of the glasses with hydroxyapatite (HA) powder (batch P120) (Plasma Biotal; Tideswell, U.K.), pressing and sintering. Two different organic additives were used as pore formers: potato starch and almond crust. This processing route was effective in producing a homogeneous microstructure of equiaxed grains. The bulk density of the samples decreased with the volume fraction increase in the content of pore formers. Scanning electron microscopy and mercury porosimetry analyses showed to be complementary techniques in characterising the pore size and distribution.

Immersion of the composite samples in culture medium (30min to 7 days) resulted in rapid protein adsorption to the surface and, also, dissolution of the intergranular phase of bioglass (time-dependent process) with the formation of different size cavities. "As-received" and pre-treated material samples presented a similar behaviour concerning the proliferation of MG63 osteoblast-like cells, evaluated during a 5-day culture period. Seeded materials showed a higher cell growth rate as compared to cultures performed on the standard plastic culture plates. To assess the osteogenic potential of the composite, "as-received" material samples were seeded with human bone marrow cells and cultured for 35 days in experimental conditions that favour the development of the osteoblastic phenotype. The cell adhesion process was similar to that observed in control cultures. Cells successfully adapted to the irregularities of the surface and were able to grow towards inside the cavities; in addition, osteogenic differentiation occurred with the formation of abundant cell-mediated mineralised deposits.

	abstract = {The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the incorporation of silicon on the surface charge of hydroxyapatite (HA) and to assess surface structural changes of HA and Si-HA induced by dissolution in both static and dynamic systems. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that SiO                        4
                        4- groups were substituted for PO
                        4
                        3- groups in the silicon-hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) lattice according to a previously proposed substitution mechanism without the formation of other crystalline phases, such as tricalcium phosphate or calcium oxide. The substituted silicon induced a decrease in the net surface charge and the isoelectric point of HA as determined by zeta potential (ZP) measurements. At physiological pH = 7.4 the surface charge of Si-HA was significantly lowered compared to unmodified HA, i.e. -50 {\textpm}5 to - 71 {\textpm} 5 eV, caused by the presence of silicate groups in the HA lattice, which may account for a faster in vitro apatite formation using SBF testing. XPS results indicated that silicon seems to be preferentially leached out from Si-HA surface compared to other ionic species after dissolution studies in tris-buffer using a dynamic system. {\textcopyright} 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

	abstract = {As a potential therapy for periodontitis, sodium ampicillin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, was adsorbed onto hydroxyapatite (HA) and glass-reinforced hydroxyaptite (GR-HA) composites, and was subsequently released in vitro. The sodium ampicillin, was adsorbed more on HA compared to the GR-HA composites. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis were used to identify and quantify the levels of HA and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in the microstructure of the GR-HA composites. Lattice parameters changes were observed for the β-TCP phase dependant on the amount of glass added. The release kinetics were shown to be divided into three stages, the first of which where a large amount of sodium ampicillin is released, followed by a slower release rate and then a final stage where the release amount approaches zero, until no more sodium ampicillin was present. X-ray photoeletron spectroscopy (XPS) studies were carried out in order to ensure that the entire antibiotic adsorbed onto the materials had been released. These kinetics studies have indicated the possibility of using these materials as possible carriers for drug delivery. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.},

	abstract = {Human osteoblastic bone marrow derived cells were cultured for 28 days onto the surface of a glass reinforced hydroxyapatite (HA) composite and a commercial type HA plasma sprayed coatings, both in the "as-received" condition and after an immersion treatment with culture medium during 21 days. Cell proliferation and differentiation were analyzed as a function of the chemical composition of the coatings and the immersion treatment. Cell attachment, growth and differentiation of osteoblastic bone marrow cells seeded onto "as-received" plasma sprayed coatings were strongly affected by the time-dependent variation of the surface structure occurring during the first hours of culture. Initial interactions leading to higher amounts of adsorbed protein and zeta potential shifts towards negative charges appeared to result in surface structures with better biological performance. Cultures grown onto the pretreated coatings showed higher rate of cell proliferation and increased functional activity, as compared to those grown onto the corresponding "as-received" materials. However, the cell behavior was similar in the glass composite and HA coatings. The results showed that the glass composites present better characteristics for bone cell growth and function than HA. In addition, this work also provide evidence that the biological performance of the glass composites can be modulated and improved by manipulations in the chemical composition, namely in the content of glass added to HA. {\textcopyright} 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.},

                        5 glass and HA plasma sprayed coatings was assessed, using cylindrical implants that were placed in rabbits tibiae and histologically characterised after 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks of implantation. For both types of coatings, long-term histological results indicated successful contact between implanted materials and bone, with organised new bone established at the interface. The main difference between the two coatings corresponded to the shorter implantation periods, where the composite coating induced faster osteointegration than HA coating. The faster formation of organised bone for composite coatings is discussed in terms of the presence of phase composition in the coatings structure.

In vitro bioactivity was assessed by immersion testing in SBF-simulated body fluid and apatite crystals were formed after 4 and 8 weeks of soaking. Porous microstructure was produced through dissolution of soluble phases and desirable porous structure may be achieved by controlling size and distribution of these phases and the leaching process. Therefore, this glass-ceramic is expected to be used as bone repair and regeneration implants and drug delivery carrier.

                        5-based bioactive glasses offer potential clinical benefits in orthopedic and dental surgery. In this study double-layer plasma-sprayed coatings were prepared and the biological response evaluated in tissue culture using two human osteosarcoma cell lines, MG63 and HOS TE85 (HOS). The cells were cultured on the materials and the effects on cell growth were determined using a spectrophometric assay of a mitochondrial enzyme that is active in viable cells. While none of the materials influenced the growth of the MG63 cells, the HOS cells appeared to undergo less proliferation on all the HA materials. Flow cytometry analysis was carried out using rabbit antibodies against osteonectin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, fibronectin, and collagen type I to measure the effects of the materials on key cellular functions. The results showed that the materials downregulated the expression of these extracellular matrix antigens by MG63 cells whereas they had less effect on the HOS cells compared to the same cells incubated on a plastic surface. Notably, with both cell lines the composite with the higher percentage of glass restored the production of connective tissue proteins to levels that were more similar to those present in the control cells.

                        2 were used as a sintering aid of hydroxyapatite, and glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite composites obtained. Glasses promoted significant changes in the microstructure of the composites, namely with the formation of tricalcium phosphate secondary phases, β and α-TCP. Quantitative phase analysis was performed by the Rietveld method using General Structure Analysis Software. Grain size measurements were carried out on SEM photomicrographs, using a planimetric procedure according to ASTM E 112-88. Flexural bending strength was determined from concentric ring-on-ring testing. Flexural bending strength (FBS) of glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite composites was found to be about twice or three times higher than that of unreinforced hydroxyapatite and tended to depend more on porosity and β and α-TCP secondary phases, rather than on grain size. Traces of α-tricalcium phosphate significantly enhanced the strength of the composites. Using the rule of mixtures to estimate the zero porosity bending strength, the Duckworth-Knudsen model applied to the composites gave a porosity correction factor, b, with a value of 4.02. Weibull statistics were also used to analyze biaxial strength data and the level of reinforcement obtained by comparing failure probability for the composites and for the unreinforced hydroxyapatite. Lower activation energies for grain growth were observed for the composites compared to unreinforced hydroxyapatite, which should be attributed to the presence of a liquid glassy phase that promotes atomic diffusion during the sintering process.

                        5-glass- reinforced hydroxyapatite composites. Quantitative phase analysis was performed by the Rietveld method using GSAS software applied to X-ray diffractograms. Surface charge was assessed by zeta potential measurements. Protein adsorption studies were performed using vitronectin. Contact angles and surface tensions variation with time were determined by the sessile and pendent drop techniques, respectively, using ADSA-P software. The highest (- 18.1 mV) and lowest (-28.7 mV) values of zeta potential were found for hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), respectively, with composite materials presenting values in between. All studied bioceramic materials showed similar solid surface tension. For HA and β-TCP, solid surface tensions of 46.7 and 45.3 mJ/m
                        2, respectively, were obtained, while composites presented intermediate surface tension values. The dispersive component of surface tension was the predominant one for all materials studied. Adhesion work values between the vitronectin solution and HA and β- TCP were found to be 79.8 and 88.0 mJ/m
                        2, respectively, while the 4.0 wt \% glass composites showed slightly lower values than the 2.5 wt \% ones. The presence of β-TCP influenced surface charge, hydrophobicity, and protein adsorption of the glass-reinforced HA composites, and therefore indirectly affected cell-biomaterial interactions.

The highest and lowest values of zeta potential were found for HA and β-TCP. All studied bioceramic materials showed similar solid surface tension. The presence of β-TCP indirectly affected cell-biomaterial interactions.

                        2O
                        5-CaO based glass composite coating. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and it was shown that they were constituted of an HA matrix with small traces of tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) phase. The XRD spectra were quite similar to those of commercial HA coatings. For coating to substrate adhesion two different tests were performed: adhesion tests according to ASTM C 633-79 and ASTM D 1002-83 standards. Higher values were obtained for ASTM C 633-79 than for ASTM D 1002-83, 35 and 15 MPa, respectively. This behavior is discussed in terms of the different stress effort applied to specimens. The results obtained with ASTM C 633-79 show that these double layered satisfy the stress requirements for load bearing biomedical applications. {\textcopyright} 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.

	abstract = {Calcium phosphate materials are widely used in biomedical applications but their poor strength and brittleness limit their use in load bearing applications. To improve their mechanical properties, hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics were reinforced with P                        2O

                        + oxides. A composite chemical composition that approaches the inorganic part of bone chemical composition was obtained using HA with calcium phosphate-based glasses. Fracture toughness was significantly enhanced by glass additions, and the decrease in fracture toughness at 1300 and 1350 {\textdegree}C was attributed to grain growth since it significantly increased with sintering temperature.

	abstract = {Granules of a modified hydroxyapatite, glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite composite and commercial hydroxyapatite were implanted in rabbit tibiae. Histological studies were carried out after 1 and 2 months implantation periods using light and fluorescence microscopy. A much higher percentage of bone contact was developed for both the glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite composite and the modified hydroxyapatite when compared to commercial hydroxyapatite (89-91\% versus 66\%) after 2 months implantation. The mechanism of bone formation and growth around implants is discussed in terms of the influence of elements incorporated into these novel materials which are commonly found in bone tissues, such as Na, K and Mg, and the presence of a soluble β-tricalcium phosphate phase in the microstructure of the composite.},

	abstract = {Glass was incorporated into hydroxyapatite (HA) to act as a sintering aid in order to improve the mechanical properties. The glass was added at 2 and 4 wt\% and the powders compacted uniaxially. The compacts were sintered at a variety of temperatures (1200, 1250, 1300 and 1350{\textdegree}C) and the effects of the glass addition and the firing temperature were studied to determine their effects on the sintering process. It was found that the glass promoted some phase changes, related to the amount of glass added to the composite. At 1200 and 1250{\textdegree}C, some β-tricaicium phosphate (TCP) was found with the residual being HA. However, at 1300 and 1350{\textdegree}C, both β- and α-TCP were formed. The 4 wt\% addition, as expected, promoted higher levels of secondary phases in the composite. The flexural bend strength (FBS) showed high values and also significant differences dependent on the amount of glass added. A 2 wt\% addition gave a gradual increase in FBS with temperature. With a 4 wt\% addition there was an increase in FBS, but above 1300{\textdegree}C there was a rapid decrease. These effects were mirrored in the linear shrinkage. Both the linear shrinkage and the FBS results were attributed to both the phase changes occurring and also change in grain size with increasing firing temperature.Glass was incorporated into hydroxyapatite (HA) to act as a sintering aid in order to improve the mechanical properties.

	abstract = {Phosphate- and silicate-based glasses were added to hydroxyapatite in order to improve its mechanical properties and to fabricate composites with different degrees of bioactivity. A strong chemical bonding was obtained between hydroxyapatite and the phosphate-based glasses leading to samples approaching theoretical density, according to density measurements and scanning electron microscopy. Bioglass{\textregistered} additions led to the formation of a complex calcium phosphate silicate which hampered the reinforcement process. The fracture toughness of the hydroxyapatite-glass composites was shown to be within the 1.1-1.2 MPam(1/2) range, which is double that determined for sintered hydroxyapatite. A 2 μm thick apatite layer was observed on the surface of the hydroxyapatite-glass composites after 48 h immersion in a simulated human blood plasma, whereas only a few apatite crystals were detected on sintered hydroxyapatite after 7 days immersion.
