A composition and method for producing interconnective macroporous,
resorbable and injectable calcium phosphate-based cements (MICPCs). The
composition of the invention sets to poorly crystalline apatitic calcium
phosphate after mixing a powder component and an aqueous solution. The
multiphasic calcium phosphate components in the cement resorb at
different rates allowing the timely replacement by new bone. The
interconnected macroporosity in the cement allows for vascularization,
entrapment of growth factors, cell colonization and tissue ingrowth. This
MICPC can be used for dental and medical applications relating to bone
repair, augmentation, reconstruction, regeneration, and osteoporosis
treatment, and also for drug delivery, and as scaffolds for tissue
engineering.
