Abstract

Owing to great biocompatibility and high capacity of apatite formation, bioceramics, especially calcium silicate-based compounds, were extensively employed in orthopedic and dental uses concerning biomedical applications. Lately, akermanite (AK; Ca2MgSi2O7), as a bioceramic containing Ca-, Mg- and Si, has gained an increased level of attention because of its more tunable mechanical characteristics and degradation rate. All studies indicate that this magnesium incorporating Ca-silicate ceramic has a great capacity to use as a bone graft material to fulfill the necessity of bone reconstruction. Despite the rising interest in using these materials in biomedical fields, there has not yet been an extensive overview of this bioceramic property and its potential benefits. Thus, it has been speculated that this concept and the emergence of akermanite bioactive ceramics might lead to significant upcoming advancements in the field of bone tissue engineering (BTE). Definitely, the approach still requires additional advances to considerably better respond to the vital concerns regarding the clinical application. The review tackles the present research trends on akermanite ceramics for biomedical purposes such as bone scaffold, coating materials, bone cement, and treatment of osteoporotic bone defects, commencing with recent status and shifting to upcoming developments. © 2021 The American Ceramic Society
