Therefore in this study the effects of α-tricalcium phosphate powder preparation methods on properties of cement are examined: passivation of particle surface by thermal treatment at 500 - 800°C and passivation of particle surface by treatment with deionized water. By combining milling, thermal treatment and treatment using deionized water it is possible to obtain cohesive and fast-setting cements. Fully injectable cements that are also cohesive can be obtained by using milled and thermally treated powders, but not by using powders treated with deionized water.

Keywords
calcium phosphate cements, bone tissue regeneration, cohesion, injectability.
