Development of Novel Bioceramic Cements

Abstract

Bioceramic cements, composed of calcium and strontium silicates and aluminates, have gained prominence in orthopedics and dentistry due to their bioactive and biocompatible properties. These materials are effective in bone regeneration and root canal sealing, overcoming the limitations of traditional cements such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The synthesis of bioceramics is performed using the solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method, which enables the production of homogeneous and highly pure powders. This process enhances control over crystalline phases and increases the materials' reactivity. The combination of different compounds and the use of this synthesis method allow for the optimization of properties such as mechanical strength and bioactivity. Thus, these materials offer a promising alternative for developing more effective and safer solutions for regenerating mineralized tissue.
