Highlights
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been widely used as an alternative to biological grafts as they present excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties
Studies have shown that octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is more soluble when compared with calcium hydroxyapatite, and that the resorption of OCP is followed by new bone formation
Novel work previously performed by the authors, has successfully introduced Bioactive glasses (BGs) into (i) hydroxyapatite, (ii) octacalcium phosphate and (iii) fluorohydroxyapatite cements without compromising the setting time
