Summary: This study synthesized silicon-doped biomimetic multi-phase composite scaffolds using simple and inexpensive methods. The scaffolds showed good mechanical and biological properties, with enhanced tissue adsorption and cell compatibility by introducing silicon doping and PCL coating. The composite scaffolds maintained the highly porous structure of cuttlefish bone, making them suitable for bone tissue regeneration applications.

Summary: This review article introduces the application of bioceramics in dental restorations. Despite their similar chemical composition to human hard tissues and excellent bioactive and biological properties, concern has been raised regarding the mechanical properties of bioceramics. Dental materials must be biocompatible, long-lasting, mechanically strong enough, wear-resistant, easily manipulated, and implanted.

Summary: Phosphorus recovery from water hyacinth shows potential for alleviating future P supply shortage. Thermal treatment of calcium and P-rich water hyacinth at different temperatures results in the formation of hydroxyapatite and other Ca-rich phases, which can be utilized as fertilizer for slow release of P in aqueous solutions and for soil neutralization to support crop growth.

Summary: The study incorporated zinc and silicate ions into calcium phosphate cement to obtain zinc silicate-modified CPCs with different contents. The addition of ZS increased compressive strength, prolonged setting time, and densified the structure of CPC. ZS/CPCs significantly promoted osteogenesis and angiogenesis, while restricting osteoclastogenesis, providing an appropriate microenvironment for immune cells.

Summary: This study assessed the effect of small fractions of β-CPP on the in vitro osteoclastic resorption of β-TCP and found that β-CPP fractions significantly inhibited the resorption of β-TCP. The study also examined the impact of β-CPP and HA impurities on the physico-chemical properties of β-TCP powders and sintered cylinders.

Summary: Biocompatible ceramics are vital in bioengineering and have great potential in biomedical and orthopedic fields. Calcium phosphates, particularly hydroxyapatite, are the most suitable bioceramics due to their similarity to human bones. These can be used as bone substitutes, drug carriers, and coatings. However, bioceramics suffer from brittleness and poor mechanical properties. By doping calcium phosphates with active biomolecules and combining them with biopolymers, new possibilities for applications arise. This review explores the recent advancements in calcium phosphate-biopolymer composites, emphasizing their potential in healthcare, bone healing, and orthopedic surgeries.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the use of different types of bioceramics as direct dental pulp capping materials for dentin regeneration in permanent teeth. It found that calcium silicate-based materials, MTA, and Biodentine are currently the most effective bioceramics for this purpose, with calcium phosphates showing potential as future alternatives. Further well-designed in vitro and clinical studies are needed to confirm the most appropriate bioceramics for direct dental pulp capping procedures.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of bioceramics for dental restorations, as they have shown promising results in terms of promoting bioactivity and enhancing adhesion between tooth tissues and restorative materials. This study aimed to synthesize dicalcium silicate-Hardystonite phases as a new bioceramics restoration with good antibacterial ability and bioactivity. The results suggest that these ceramics are promising candidates for dental restorations.

Summary: This study reports the role of calcium in the acidic aluminum phosphate-activation of metakaolin and the characteristics of the resulting binder. It was found that a replacement rate higher than 6 wt% hinders the subsequent dissolution of metakaolin, and highly soluble calcium hydroxide improves the compressive strength while sparsely soluble calcium silicate decreases it.

Summary: Enamel demineralization, a common dental problem, is a concern for dental professionals and patients due to its impact on both health and aesthetics. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has gained attention as a potential agent for preventing or treating enamel demineralization. This article briefly reviews ACP stabilizers and their mechanisms, as well as the scientific evidence supporting the remineralization ability of these agents. The limitations of current research and future prospects for clinical translation of ACP agents are also discussed.
