Abstract

The structure of two different Mg-substituted biphasic (HAP and β-TCP) mixtures along with the biphasic mixtures without substituted Mg2+ was investigated using Rietveld refinement technique. The substituted Mg 2+ was found in the β-TCP phase and its influence on the composition has led to an increase in HAP content of Mg-containing biphasic mixtures when compared with the HAP content detected in pure biphasic mixtures. The refined structural parameters of Ca10(PO4) 6(OH)2 and β-Ca3(PO4) 2 confirmed that all the investigated compositions have crystallized in the corresponding hexagonal (space group P63/m) and rhombohedral (space group R3c) structures. The substitution of lower sized magnesium was found preferentially incorporated at the sixfold-coordinated Ca (5) site of β-TCP, which is due to the strong Ca (5)·O interaction among all the five different Ca sites of β-Ca3(PO4)2. The in vitro tests using primary culture of osteoblasts showed that all the tested samples are biocompatible and promising materials for in vivo studies. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
