Abstract
Objective The goal of this review was to determine whether calcium silicate (wollastonite) as a bone graft material is a viable alternative to autogenous bone or whether the evidence base for its use is weak. Methods In this systematic review, electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed and BVS) were searched for relevant articles in indexed journals. Articles published in a 10-year period were identified (n = 48). After initial selection, 17 articles were assessed for eligibility; subsequently, seven articles were excluded and 10 articles were included. Results Among the studies included, 20% emphasized the importance of randomization, which adds reliability to the study, minimizing the risk of bias. High variability was observed in the material used, such as additives, amounts, dosage, and chemical alterations, rendering direct comparison among these studies impossible. The experimental periods varied considerably; one of the studies did not include statistical analysis, weakening the evaluation. Nonetheless, the true potential of wollastonite as a graft material conducive to new bone formation was reported in all studies. Conclusion The results support the use of wollastonite as a bone graft material. The initial research question was answered despite the significant variability observed among these preclinical studies, which hindered the precision of this analysis.

Abstract
In this paper we report a "steel-concrete" inspired layered hybrid spine cage combining a titanium mesh and a bioceramic scaffold, which were welded together through a bioglass bonding layer using a novel multistep manufacturing methodology including three-dimensional slip deposition, gel casting, freeze-drying, and cosintering. The interfacial welding strength achieved 27 ± 0.7 MPa, indicating an excellent structural integrity of the hybrid cage construct. The biocramic scaffold layer consisting of wollastonite and hydroxyapatite had an interconnected, highly porous structure with a pore size of 100-500 μm and a porosity of >85%, well fufilling the structural requirements of bone regeneration. Simulated body fluid immersion assay showed that the hybrid cage exhibited excellent biodegradability to facilitate rapid bone-like apatite formation. In vitro studies demonstrated that the bioceramic scaffold on the hybrid cage supported attachment, spreading, growth, and migration of bone/vessel-forming cells and triggered osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo studies further suggested that the bioceramic scaffold on the hybrid cage could actively promote fast generation of new bone tissues within 12 weeks of implantation in a rabbit femoral condyle model. This study has provided a new design and fabrication methodology of hybrid cages by integrating strong mechanical properties with excellent biological activities including osteoinductivity and bone regeneration ability, for spine fusion and segmental bone reconstruction.

Abstract
In early 1980s, researchers discovered self-setting calcium orthophosphate cements, which are bioactive and biodegradable grafting bioceramics in the form of a powder and a liquid. After mixing, both phases form pastes, which set and harden forming either a non-stoichiometric calcium deficient hydroxyapatite or brushite. Since both of them are remarkably biocompartible, bioresorbable and osteoconductive, self-setting calcium orthophosphate formulations appear to be promising bioceramics for bone grafting. Furthermore, such formulations possess excellent molding capabilities, easy manipulation and nearly perfect adaptation to the complex shapes of bone defects, followed by gradual bioresorption and new bone formation. In addition, reinforced formulations have been introduced, which might be described as calcium orthophosphate concretes. The discovery of self-setting properties opened up a new era in the medical application of calcium orthophosphates and many commercial trademarks have been introduced as a result. Currently such formulations are widely used as synthetic bone grafts, with several advantages, such as pourability and injectability. Moreover, their low-temperature setting reactions and intrinsic porosity allow loading by drugs, biomolecules and even cells for tissue engineering purposes. In this review, an insight into the self-setting calcium orthophosphate formulations, as excellent bioceramics suitable for both dental and bone grafting applications, has been provided.
