Calcium Phosphate Cements

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are biocompatible materials often used in medicine and dentistry to repair bones and teeth. They are made from calcium and phosphate, which are natural components of our bones. When mixed, these powders form a paste that hardens into a solid material, resembling bone. This property makes CPCs ideal for filling voids or defects in the body, as they can support healing and ultimately be replaced by natural bone. Their use is growing in areas like orthopedic surgery and dental applications due to their effectiveness and safety.
