Abstract: Bone cements based on calcium phosphate powder and different concentrations of colloidal silica suspensions were developed. Setting time and washout behavior of the cements were recorded and compared with those of a control group prepared by the same powder phase and distilled water as liquid. The phase composition, compressive strength, and morphology of the cements were determined after incubation and soaking in simulated body fluid. Proliferation of osteoblasts seeded on samples was also determined as a function of time. The results showed that the long setting time, poor compressive strength, and undesirable washout behavior of the cement made with distilled water were considerably improved by adding colloidal silica in a dose-dependent manner. On the basis of XRD and SEM results, both control group and nanosilica-added cements composed of nanosized apatite flakes after 7 days soaking, in addition to tetracalcium phosphate residual for the latter. It was found that the rate of hydraulic reactions that are responsible for conversion of the cement reactants to nanostructured apatite was increased by the presence of colloidal silica. Furthermore, the osteoblasts exhibited better proliferation on nanosilica added cements compared to control one. This study suggests better applied properties for nanosilica-added calcium phosphate cement compared to traditional cements. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
