Table 1 Advantages and disadvantages of three bioceramic scaffolds
From: Effect of strontium-containing on the properties of Mg-doped wollastonite bioceramic scaffolds
Scaffold | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
β-TCP | Excellent biocompatibility and bone conductivity | Low mechanical strength and cell differentiation ability; poor induction of apatite formation and degradation ability |
CSM | Ultrahigh strength; excellent osteogenic properties | Poor induction of apatite formation ability; low capability of cell differentiation |
Sr-CSM | Superior ability to induce apatite formation, cell proliferation and differentiation; acceptable mechanical strength | Mechanical strength needs to be improved |
