Research Abstract |
We have successfully developed novel "chelate-setting apatite cement" using hydroxyapatite particles surface-modified with inositol phosphate. As we have examined the biocompatibility of this apatite cement, it showed good cell differentiation, attachment and proliferation, and bone induction both In vitro and In vivo. Thus, this present study demonstrates that this apatite cement can be useful as a new bone substitute for bone grafting in the spine.
