| Summary: | The present work focused on the synthesis and characterization of scaffold type biomaterials based on calcium silicate doped with magnesium ions for bone regeneration with potential applications in tissue engineering. Starting from the idea that calcium silicate, with a scaffold type structure, presents relatively weak mechanical properties and a fast degradation rate, it was considered to dope it with magnesium ions to obtain materials with improved properties from mechanical and biological points of view, which can be an alternative to the classical methods of bone regeneration. Magnesium was selected because it plays an important role in the human body, maintaining bone health, and even more it promotes the process of osteogenesis. Therefore, in this study, scaffolds based on calcium silicate doped with magnesium ions were obtained by replicating a polymer sponge. |
