Description
Summary:Abstract Artificial bone substitutes for bone repair and reconstruction still face enormous challenges. Previous studies have shown that calcium magnesium phosphate cements (CMPCs) possess an excellent bioactive surface, but its clinical application is restricted due to short setting time. This study aimed to develop new CMPC/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) comg of mixed powders of active MgO, calcined MgO and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate. With this novel strategy, it can adjust the setting time and improve the compressive strength. The results confirmed that CMPC/CMCS composite bone cements were successfully developed with a controllable setting time (18–70 min) and high compressive strength (87 MPa). In addition, the composite bone cements could gradually degrade in PBS with weight loss up to 32% at 28 d. They also promoted the proliferation of pre-osteoblasts, and induced osteogenic differentiation. The findings indicate that CMPC/CMCS composite bone cements hold great promise as a new type of bone repair material in further and in-depth studies.
