Article Abstract
Background: The use of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) in dental surgery is limited owing to its rapid absorption compared to mixed formulations of hydroxyapatite. However, newly developed pure beta-TCP crystals have demonstrated slow absorption; hence, they last longer within the defect and act as a scaffold until new bone formation. The oral environment is unique and can prove unfavorable for bone grafts due to the high infection rate in the oral cavity and the fragile condition of the oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using pure beta-TCP bone grafts in various dental treatments.
Methods: Panoramic X-ray images of 25 patients who underwent bone grafting during dental surgery were analyzed. A specially treated pure beta-TCP crystal, Neo Bone® (Neo Bone®, SN Biologics Co., Ltd, Seoul, Korea), was used in this study. The bone density at the graft site was compared with that of the surrounding bone using the ImageJ software (Wayne Rasband, NIH USA).
Results: Six months after surgery, the bone graft density was similar to that of the surrounding bone in 20 patients and increased in 5 patients. No adverse effects, such as infection, dehiscence, or graft failure, were observed.
Conclusion: The newly developed pure beta-TCP crystal was slowly absorbed and served as support until new bone formation at the defect site, thus demonstrating its potential for use in various oral conditions requiring bone grafting.

Aim: to evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of two alloplastic biomaterials in a critical-size rat calvarial defect model.
Methods: A total of 80 rats were randomized into 8 groups of 10 animals each. An Ø8 mm, critical-size calvarial defect was created, and the following treatments were randomly allocated: sham surgery, deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) + collagen membrane (CM), poly-(lactic-co-glycolic-acid) (PLGA)-coated pure phase β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), or PLGA-coated 60% hydroxyapatite (HA):40%β-TCP.

Autografts, allografts, and synthetic bone substitutes are essential in reconstructive orthopedic surgery. Although autografts and allografts provide excellent skeletal integration, their use is limited by host morbidity and graft acquisition challenges. Synthetic materials like β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) offer promising osseoconductive properties as a potential substitute.

This study presents a novel two-step process to fabricate low crystallinity (LC) β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) porous scaffolds and evaluates their implications for pre-osteoblast cell responses. The novelty of this study lies in the two-step conversion of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) -coated β-TCP porous scaffold into LC β-TCP porous scaffolds through a combination of dry heating and hydrothermal conditions at 200°C. The obtained LC β-TCP porous scaffolds were characterised using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR), porosity, and compressive strength analysis confirmed the successful fabrication of LC β-TCP scaffolds.

Background: Polylactic acid (PLA) has been extensively used in tissue engineering. However, poor mechanical properties and low cell affinity have limited its pertinence in load bearing bone tissue regeneration (BTR) devices.
Objective: Augmenting PLA with β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP), a calcium phosphate-based ceramic, could potentially improve its mechanical properties and enhance its osteogenic potential.

Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds manufactured through the foam replication method are widely employed in bone tissue regeneration. The mechanical strength of these scaffolds is a significant challenge, partly due to the rheological properties of the original suspension. Various strategies have been explored to enhance the mechanical properties.
