Acrylic bone cements are used in dentistry and orthopedic surgery to fix prosthetic devices into the bone. Bone cements transfer and distribute the applied load and increase the load-carrying capacity of the prosthesis/cement/bone system with the help of mechanical bonding between the device and the bone. In spite of all their advantages, bone cements have several drawbacks such as insufficient mechanical properties, high exothermic polymerization temperature, release of monomer to the environmental tissue and loosening of implant. Studies are being carried out to improve bone cement formulations with low curing temperature, good mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. In this study, bone cements with different compositions were prepared by using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres, barium sulphate (BaSO4) radiopaque agent, inorganic hydroxyapatite (HA) particles and 1-dodecyl mercaptan (DDM) chain stopping agent. Mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared bone cements were examined. When 8% hydroxyapatite was added into the formulation, both tensile and compressive strengths were increased and curing temperature was decreased. Addition of 13% BaSO4 caused 0.98% and 10.29% decrease in tensile and compressive strength values, respectively. Addition of 1%, 2% and 3% DDM, relative to the amount of methyl methacrylate monomer, decreased the maximum temperature from 101.78°C to 91.80°C, 78.38°C and 71.35°C, respectively. All compositions of the prepared bone cements fulfilled the minimum compressive strength (70 MPa) requirement and the minimum curing temperature was obtained as 71.35°C. In order to have optimum desired properties, further studies to improve biocompatibility, mechanical and thermal properties of bone cements are needed.

Preparation and characterization of hydroxyapatite containing acrylic bone cements
Başgörenay, Burcu; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004)
Acrylic bone cements are one of the most important biomaterials used in orthopaedic surgery and dental applications to fill the cavities or provide mechanical interlock between prosthesis and the bone. Their biocompatibility can be increased by addition of different materials into the formulation, such as hydroxyapatite. Besides all the advantages, bone cements have several drawbacks including tissue necrosis, chemical necrosis, shrinkage of the cement and aseptic loosening. Therefore painstaking research a...
Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Containing Acrylic Bone Cement Formulations
Endogan, Tugba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2009-05-22)
Bone cements are used in orthopaedic surgery and dentistry, and the commonly used commercial ones are prepared from poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA). In orthopaedic surgery bone cements are used as filling agents for the treatment of damaged tissues and they are used to stabilize the prosthesis by providing the mechanical interlock between bone and metal during the use of metal prothesis and to provide the homogeneous distribution of applied load. In this study, bone cements compositions were prepared by us...
Investigations on the biodegradable polymeric and inorganic substrates for controlled drug delivery and bone and cartilage repair
Günay, Aycan; Bayramlı, Erdal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to address the needs by applying the principles of chemistry, biology and engineering for the development of viable substitutes that restore and maintain the function of human bone and cartilage tissues. In tissue engineering, scaffolds play an important role as temporary supports for the transplantation of specific cells and tissues. In this study, poly(ester-urethane)urea (PEUU) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated. Scaffolds we...
Bacterial cellulose-reinforced boron-doped hydroxyapatite/gelatin scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
Atila, Deniz; Karataş, Ayten; Evcin, Atilla; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01)
Today, many people are suffering from bone defects due to trauma, tumor or bone related diseases. Mimicking bone in terms of composition and structure has been a challenge for tissue engineers. In this study, a novel 3D porous tissue-engineered construct composed of natural and easily-accessible biomaterials, namely (1) an exopolysaccharide; bacterial cellulose (BC), (2) mineral crystals; boron-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (BHA), and (3) a natural protein; gelatin (GEL) as the main constituting biomaterial was...
Synthesis of baghdadite using modified sol–gel route and investigation of its properties for bone treatment applications
Jodati, Hossein; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer; Alshemary, Ammar Z; ÇELİK, ERDAL (2022-01-01)
The requirement for biomaterials with superior properties, used in bone treatment applications, is inevitable due to escalated bone tissue defects. Baghdadite (BAG) is a calcium silicate that benefits from the presence of zirconium (Zr) in its structure and has attracted huge attention in recent years. In this study, a modified sol–gel route was proposed to synthesize BAG by dissolving Zr precursor separately and using optimum amounts of solvent and chelating agent. Due to thermal gravimetric analysis and d...
