Abstract
Bioactive bioceramics as alternative to autografts and allografts include: bioactive glass, calcium carbonate (natural coral), calcium sulfate and calcium phosphates of biologic (derived from bovine bone, coral and marine algae) or synthetic origin. These bioceramics are available as granules or blocks (dense or porous), specially designed shapes (wedges, cylinders), cements or as coatings on orthopedic or dental implants. Properties of bone that are emulated by bioceramics include: interconnecting porosity, degradation and osteoconductivity. Osteoinductivity is introduced by mixing the bioceramics with osteogenic molecules (e.g., growth factors, demineralized bone matrix). Some calcium phosphate-based bioceramics were observed to have osteoinductive properties attributed to yet-to-be-defi ned critical geometry. Difference in composition and syntheses or processing methods affect the properties of the bioceramics. Applications of these bioceramics are described. The applications are limited to non-load bearing areas because of the poor mechanical strengths of these bioceramics. In addition to their application as bone graft substitutes or autograft extenders, some of these bioceramics are effi cient carriers for growth factors or drugs, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering.
