Abstract

In this research, the influence of NaH2PO4.2H2O with different concentrations on setting time and compressive strength of bone cement based on hydroxyapatite was investigated. Hydroxyapatite cement is of calcium phosphate bone cements, which can be considered as the best substitute for hard tissues. The powder phase of the cement was prepared from various compositions of calcium phosphates such: tricalcium phosphate (TCP), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and montite (CaHPO4) as constant and the liquid part using NaH2PO4.2H2O solution with different concentrations. The influences of liquid/powder ratio L/P (ml/g) was investigated on the initial and final setting times and compressive strengths of the cement. According to the obtained results, with optimum concentrations of the liquid phase, this cement seems suitable for clinical applications.
