Popis: β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP), one of the most used bone graft substitutes, may contain up to 5 wt% foreign phase according to standards. Typical foreign phases include β-calcium pyrophosphate (β-CPP) and hydroxyapatite (HA). Currently, the effect of small amounts of impurities on β-TCP resorption is unknown. This is surprising since pyrophosphate is a very potent osteoclast inhibitor. The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of small β-CPP fractions (

Highlights • Purest β-TCP cylinders ever reported in the literature. • Bulk Ca/P molar ratio influences the physico-chemical properties of β-TCP cylinders. • White light interferometry is a potent method to quantify osteoclastic resorption. • The presence of 1% of β-CPP reduces the in vitro β-TCP resorption rate by 40%.
