Silicone Applications
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is a synthetic bone graft material that was invented
in 1986 by L. C. Chow and W. E. Brown, scientists at the American Dental Association.
The cement is a white powder consisting of equimolar amounts of ground
Ca4(PO4)2O (tetracalcium phosphate, TTCP) and CaHPO4 (dicalcium phosphate
anhydrous, DCPA). When mixed with water, the material forms a workable paste
which can be shaped during surgery to fit the contours of a wound. The cement
hardens within 20 min allowing rapid closure of the wound. The hardening reaction,
which forms nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) as the product, is isothermic and
occurs at physiologic pH so tissue damage does not occur during the setting reaction.
CPC was FDA approved for the treatment of non-load-bearing bone defects in 1996.
HA is the primary inorganic component of natural bone which makes the hardened
cement biocompatible and osteoconductive. Over time, CPC is gradually resorbed and
replaced with new bone. Because CPC is brittle, it is used for non-load-bearing
applications such as dental and cranio-facial applications. CPC has two significant
advantages over pre-formed, sintered ceramics. First, the CPC paste can be sculpted
during surgery to fit the contours of the wound. Second, the nanocrystalline
hydroxyapatite structure of the CPC makes it osteoconductive causing it to be
gradually resorbed and replaced with new bone. Recent work with CPC has focused
on improving mechanical properties, making premixed cements, making the cement
macroporous and seeding cells and growth factors into the cement.
