PG - 797-804 LID - 10.1002/jbm.a.36285 [doi] AB - beta-Tricalcium phosphate [beta-TCP] is the typical bone substitute due to its excellent osteoconductivity and bioresorbability. One of the keys to improve its potential as bone substitute is to introduce porous structure and its regulation. In this study, interconnected porous beta-TCP blocks were fabricated through a setting reaction of beta-TCP granules and subsequent heat treatment. First, beta-TCP granules were mixed with HNO(3) . Upon mixing, beta-TCP granules were bridged with dicalcium phosphate dihydrate [DCPD: CaHPO(4) .2H(2) O] containing Ca(NO(3) )(2) . Then, the DCPD-bridged beta-TCP was heated at 1100 degrees C. During the heating process, DCPD containing Ca(NO(3) )(2) transformed into beta-TCP and bonded with beta-TCP granules. As a result, an interconnected porous beta-TCP block formed. The diametral tensile strength and porosity of the interconnected porous beta-TCP block fabricated from 200-300-mum beta-TCP granules and 5 N HNO(3) and then heated at 1,100 degrees C were 1.4 +/- 0.2 MPa and 57% +/- 2%, respectively.
