ASTRACT:Hydroxyapatite formed from low temperature setting calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are currently been used for various orthopaedic applications. CPCs are attractive candidates for the development of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, since they are moldable, resorbable, set at physiological temperature without the use of toxic chemicals, and can be processed in an operating room setting. However they may have mechanical disadvantages which seriously limit them to non-load bearing orthopaedic applications. The aim of the present study was to develop composites from polyphosphazenes and calcium deficient hydroxyapatite precursors to form poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite-polymer composites. Composites were formed from calcium deficient hydroxyapatite precursors (Ca/P – 1.5, 1.6) and biodegradable polyphosphazenes, poly[bis(ethyl alanato)phosphazene] (PNEA) and poly[(50%ethyl alanato) (50%methyl phenoxy)phosphazene] (PNEA50mPh50) at physiological temperature. The results demonstrated that poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite that resembled the mineral component of bone was formed in the presence of biodegradable polyphosphazenes. The surface morphology of all the four composites was identical with a porous microstructure. The composites supported the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast like MC3T3-E1 cells making them potential candidates for bone tissue engineering.

The management and treatment of dental and craniofacial injuries have continued to evolve throughout the last several decades. Limitations with autograft, allograft, and synthetics created the need for more advanced approaches in tissue engineering. Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are frequently used to repair bone defects. Since their discovery in the 1980s, extensive research has been conducted to improve their properties, and emerging evidence supports their increased application in bone tissue engineering. This review focuses on the up-to-date performance of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds and upcoming promising dental and craniofacial bone regeneration strategies. First, we summarized the barriers encountered in CPC scaffold development. Second, we compiled the most up to date in vitro and in vivo literature. Then, we conducted a systematic search of scientific articles in MEDLINE and EMBASE to screen the related studies. Lastly, we revealed the current developments to effectively design CPC scaffolds and track the enhanced viability and therapeutic efficacy to overcome the current limitations and upcoming perspectives. Finally, we presented a timely and opportune review article focusing on the significant potential of CPC scaffolds for dental and craniofacial bone regeneration, which will be discussed thoroughly. CPC offers multiple capabilities that may be considered toward the oral defects, expecting a future outlook in nanotechnology design and performance.

Due to the limitations of bone autografts, we aimed to develop new composite biomaterials with pro-angiogenic and osteogenic properties to be used as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering applications. We used a porous, cross-linked and slowly biodegradable fibrin/alginate scaffold originally developed in our laboratory for wound healing, throughout which deposits of calcium phosphate (CaP) were evenly incorporated using an established biomimetic method. Material characterisation revealed the porous nature and confirmed the deposition of CaP precursor phases throughout the scaffolds. MC3T3-E1 cells adhered to the scaffolds, proliferated, migrated and differentiated down the osteogenic pathway during the culture period. Chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay results showed that the scaffolds were pro-angiogenic and biocompatible. The work presented here gave useful insights into the potential of these pro-angiogenic and osteogenic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and merits further research in a pre-clinical model prior to its clinical translation.
