Patent disclosure explains an improved method for producing a bioceramic mineral releasing bioactive tetracalcium phosphate cements.
The method comprises the steps of:
Heating at 1500ºC for 6-12 hours in order to synthesize Tetracalcium phosphate
Mixing synthesized Tetracalcium Phosphate with the liquid component of the cement containing 1M disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HP04) containing 10% citric acid using dental cement spatula in L/P ratio of 0.5mI/g
Packing the mixture in a mold and allowing the mixture to harden for obtaining improved Bioceramic mineral releasing Bioactive Tetracalcium Phosphate Cements.
