Cytocompatibility and Matrix Properties of Surfaces of Nanostructured Calcium Phosphate Cements

Resumo

There is a growing interest in bioactive materials of medicinal use, because their employment gives large opportunities in the recovery of the integrity of bone tissue, which is dictated by their biocompatibility and bioactivity. The authors have compared cytocompatibility and matrix properties of a series of nanostructured calcium phosphate cements and have elaborated recommendations on improvement of primary in vitro screening of the materials dedicated for the replacement of osteochondral defects.
