In the case of bone defects and damages synthetic bone grafts have been widely used for filling the damaged parts. Alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is an attractive calcium orthophosphate as replacement of hard tissues. It converts from powder form to hardened apatite, by cement-type reaction in aqueous solutions, which is therefore a promising hard bone tissue analog and clinically used in bone defect filling operations. In this concept adding therapeutic function to the hardened cement products is an additional challenge and research interest. When compared with organic drugs and proteins, metallic ions are promising therapeutic agents because of their high availability and stability. In order to improve the therapeutic properties of α-TCP, various metallic ions can be incorporated. In this study, selenium (Se) ion has been incorporated to α-TCP to give anti-carcinogenic effect. Se-incorporated α-TCP (α-TCP:Se) has been synthesized by the solid-state reaction of custom synthesized Se-incorporated monetite (CaHPO4:Se) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The microstructural and morphological properties of as synthesized α-TCP products with different amounts of Se-incorporation remain unaffected by doping. Up to 2 wt. % Se-incorporation, the only phase obtained from the XRD analyses is α-TCP, however, higher than 2 wt. % Se-incorporation to α-TCP leads to formation of the hydroxyapatite (HAp) together with α-TCP. Complete cement-type conversion from α-TCP to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp) has been performed with pure and different amount of Se-incorporated α-TCP products. The hydration kinetics of cement-type conversion is positively changed with the presence of Se. Higher amount of Se addition slows down the kinetics of cement-type conversion. The morphological properties are remained same for Se-incorporated and pure α-TCP. Less than 2 wt. % Se doping is critical limit for obtaining only α-TCP without formation of any other calcium phosphates and it’s critical for faster hydration kinetics of cement conversion reaction from α-TCP to CDHAp.

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...
Chemical and structural characterization of selenium-incorporated hydroxyapatite Alkan, Barış; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2015) In case of severe bone damage or fracture, synthetic bone grafts have long been applied for replacing natural bone tissue. Recent advances in this area have led to development of dual-functional synthetic hard tissue analogs exhibiting high biocompability/osteoconductivity together with therapeutic effect. Metallic ions are promising therapeutic agents in treatment of bone tumors due to their high physiological stability and availability compared to other alternative therapeutic agents such as recombinant p...
Preparation of Barium doped Baghdadite/PHBV fibrous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Sadreddini, Sanaossadat; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2023-1-23) Recently, bioceramic/polymer composites have dragged a lot of attention for treating hard tissue damages using bone tissue engineering (BTE). In this context, it was aimed to develop fibrous composite poly(hydroxybutyrate) co (hydroxyvalerate)- polycaprolactone, PHBV-PCL, scaffolds containing different amounts of baghdadite (BAG) and Ba-doped BAG that can provide bone regeneration in the bone defect area and to investigate the effect of these scaffolds on the structural, mechanical, and biological propertie...
Preparation and characterization of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffolds modified with cell-loaded fibrin gel Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2019-03-15) Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of the most commonly used polymers in the production of tissue engineered scaffolds for hard tissue treatments. Incorporation of cells into these scaffolds significantly enhances the healing rate of the tissue. In this study, PCL scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of fibrinogen in order to form a fibrin network between the PCL fibers. By this way, scaffolds would have micro and nanofibers in their structures. Drying of the wet s...
Biodegradable hydroxyapatite - Polymer composites Durucan, Caner (2001-04-01) The fracture of bone due to trauma or due to natural aging is one of the most frequent types of tissue failures. Treatment frequently requires the implantation of ct temporary or permanent prosthesis. The implanted materials may include the components of artificial joints, plates, and screws for fracture fixation. Typically, such implants are intended only to provide structural support or to serve as templates for bone re-growth. In general they are intended to remain in place for the life of the patient or...
