	abstract = {Two bioactive bone cements were compared with poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) cement. Cement A was prepared from precipitated hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, using an aqueous solution of Na                        2HPO
                        4. Cement B was prepared by crushing a bioactive glass composed of SiO

                        2O
                        5 and Na
                        2O. The powder was mixed with NH

                        2 PO
                        4 aqueous solution buffered at pH = 7.4. The bioactive cements exhibited different in vivo behaviors but both performed better than PMMA cement.
