## Abstract Two glass ceramics in the CaOP~2~O~5~MgO system with the incorporation of K~2~O or TiO~2~ oxides were prepared with the goal of using them as potential bone graft substitutes. The incorporation of TiO~2~ and K~2~O led to the preparation of specific crystalline phases in the structure

✦ Synopsis
The present study investigated properties of various mixtures of organic acids (malic and malonic) and calcium phosphate compounds (beta-tricalcium phosphate, ashed bovine bone, and synthetic hydroxyapatite) with the objective of determining the optimum combination of organic acid and calcium phosphate compound for components of a chitosan-bonded bone-filling paste. beta-tricalcium phosphate was decomposed by malic acid and malonic acid, but these two acids did not decompose synthetic hydroxyapatite and ashed bovine bone. Assessment of ion release from a set paste containing either synthetic hydroxyapatite or ashed bovine bone indicated that only calcium ions were appreciably released after storing and stirring the set paste in physiologic saline for 7 days.
