The use of calcium phosphate cements (CPC) is restricted by their lack of macroporosity and poor drug release properties. To overcome these two limitations, incorporating degradable polymer microparticles into CPC is an attractive option, as polymer microparticles could help to control drug release
## Abstract The bone regenerative properties of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) may be improved by the addition of growth factors, such as recombinant human transforming growth factor‐β1 (rhTGF‐β1). Previously, we showed that rhTGF‐β1 in CPC stimulated the differentiation of preosteoblastic cells
The effect of adding finely divided hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder to glass-polyalkenoate cements has been studied. Two different glasses were used in cement formation, an oxide and a fluoride glass. Cements were prepared at a powder:liquid ratio of 2:1, higher ratios being unattainable because of the
