Autogenous bone graft carries the risk of complications. In contrast, artificial bone graft provides initial strength and allows new bone ingrowth. In this study, we examined methods of preparation of α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate (α-CSH) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and a composite of the two materials. Characterization of the materials was determined with X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and porosity analysis. β-TCP exhibited the spatial structure and porosity of normal bone with a macropore size of 50-400 μm and some 1 μm micropores. α-CSH exhibited a regular crystal structure. A combined material was prepared in a 1:1 weight ratio, and in a rabbit model, the rate of new bone mineralization was similar to that of autogenous bone graft. The combined material of β-TCP and α-CSH in this study may provide similar efficacy as autogenous bone graft.
