Abstract
Calcium sulfate (CS) bone cement has been shown to have good biocompatibility and can be used as a bone filler for repairing bone defects. However, its clinical application is limited due to its low compressive strength and weak bone repair activity. To this end, in this study, cubic crystalline magnesium-doped calcium sulfate (MgCS) was prepared and mixed with 45S5 bioglass (BG) to form a composite bone cement (MgCS/BG). The results show that cubic crystal calcium sulfate helps to increase the compressive strength of the composite bone cement to more than 60 MPa. More importantly, the obtained magnesium-doped composite bone cement can promote the adhesion and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and has good bioactivity. Through a skull defect model, it was found that MgCS/BG can significantly enhance bone defect repair and new bone formation. This new composite MgCS/BG is very promising for future translation into clinical applications.
