  2. Introduction Calcium phosphate bioceramics • The most used calcium phosphate-based bioceramics are: • hydroxyapatite [HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2], and • β-or α- tricalcium phosphate [TCP, Ca3(PO4)2]. • These ceramics are used in porous, granular and denses forms as bone graft substitutes in orthopedics and dental surgery • Poor mechanical properties  limit their application to: small unloaded implant, powder, surface-coating materials and low-loaded implants. • Preparation of calcium phosphate-based ceramic composites can partially solve the problem of these limits.

  3. Introduction Sol-gel synthesis • The sol-gel synthesis method is simple, economic, and results in a high quality powder which could be useful for hard tissue reconstruction applications. • Processing of sol-gel TCP usually results in a fine-grain microstructure and crystals, better accepted by the host tissue. The morphology of the gel powders after calcination at 9000C TCP

  4. Objective • To investigate the potential use of new calcium phosphate composites obtained by sol-gel method. The study focuseson phase identification, microstructuralexamination, and biocompatibility evaluations of these new materials.

  6. Methods • Phase identifications of the calcined and sintered materials were determined using X-ray diffraction (RDX) method. • Microstructural examinationwas determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) • Cell viability was evaluated using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2yl)-2,5-triphenyl tetrazolium) coloration assay.

  7. Indirect cytotoxicity study: • L929 mouse fibroblast cell-line (ATCC) • cell treatment: 24, 48 and 72 h Methods • Cytotoxicity was studied using the material particles extracts. • Material particles extracts: immersion of the composite OB particles • in culture medium (0.1 mg/ml) • at 370C • for a period of 120 h • under permanent shaking at 240 rpm.

  10. Results MTT-cytotoxicity test • exposure of L-929 to TCP-SiO2 composites extracts did not affect cell viability

  11. Conclusions • Based on phase identification, microstructural examination and biocompatibility testing: • the new TCP sol-gel composites seem to be good biomaterial candidates; • the results are encouraging but more studies are necessary. Future Work • Further investigations are ongoing : • to study osteoblastic adherence to the tricalcium phosphate sol-gel composites and their behaviour in a simulated physiologic environment.
