Abstract

Background. The need for biomaterials to treat periodontal osseous defects has increased as the world population ages. The objective of the present study was to develop a self-hardening, resorbable, and mech/anically strong calcium phosphate cement (CPC) in a non-rigid form that can provide the needed compliance for tooth motion in periodontal bone repair. Methods. Tetracalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, and biopolymer chitosan were used to develop a strong and non-rigid CPC composite. A powder:liquid ratio of 2:1 was used, compared to 1:1 for a non-rigid CPC developed previously, which served as the control. Specimens were immersed in a physiological solution for different times and characterized by using a flexural test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Statistical Analysis. Two-way and one-way ANOVA and Tukey s multiple comparison test (p = 0.05) were performed to detect significant effects of material composition and immersion time. Results. After 28 d of immersion, the new cement A had a flexural strength (mean sd; n = 6) of (5.2 1.0) MPa, higher than (1.8 1.5) MPa for the control (p
