Abstract: This review discusses and summarizes the recent developments and advances in the use of biodegradable materials for bone repair purposes. The choice between using degradable and non-degradable devices for orthopedic and maxillofacial applications must be carefully weighed. Traditional biodegradable devices for osteosynthesis have been successful in low or mild load bearing applications. However, continuing research and recent developments in the field of material science has resulted in development of biomaterials with improved strength and mechanical properties. For this purpose, biodegradable materials, including polymers, ceramics and magnesium alloys have attracted much attention for osteologic repair and applications. The next generation of biodegradable materials would benefit from recent knowledge gained regarding cell material interactions, with better control of interfacing between the material and the surrounding bone tissue. The next generations of biodegradable materials for bone repair and regeneration applications require better control of interfacing between the material and the surrounding bone tissue. Also, the mechanical properties and degradation/resorption profiles of these materials require further improvement to broaden their use and achieve better clinical results.

Manufacture of macroporous calcium hydroxyapatite bioceramics
N. Ozgür Engin,A. Cuneyt Tas +1 more
Abstract: Trabecular bones of almost all vertebrate organisms basically consist of macroporous (55–70% interconnected porosity) bone mineral, i.e. calcium hydroxyapatite (HA: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2). The macroporosity observed in the trabecular bones then allows the ingrowth of the soft tissues and organic cells into the bone matrix. Sub-micron, chemically uniform, and high phase-purity HA powders produced in our laboratory were mixed, under vigorous ultrasonification, with methyl cellulose of appropriate amounts in the form of an aqueous slurry of proper viscosity and thickness. The ceramic cakes produced in this way were then slowly dried in an oven in the temperature range of 50–90 °C. Dried cakes of porous HA were physically cut into various prismatic shapes. These parts were then slowly heated in an air atmosphere to the optimum sintering temperature of 1250 °C. The HA bioceramic parts obtained by this novel ‘foaming technique’ were found to have tractable and controllable interconnected porosity in the range of 60–90%, with typical pore sizes ranging from 100–250 microns. Sample characterization was mainly achieved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies and three-point bending tests.
