ABSTRACT
Hussein BF, Alfaham HM, Abass A., Bioceramic scaffold for bone reconstruction, Onl J Vet Res., 21(11):733-727, 2017. Porous
biodegradable scaffolds for bone remodeling reconstruction made with 10-20g
crab shell powder, 40-50g dextrin, 10-20g Al-kharit and 20-30g gelatin are described.
Scaffolds were constructed by heat processing and scanned by electron
microscopy for structural characterization and particle size. The 3D-Scaffolds
with controlled porosity and adequate strength were biodegradable and
biocompatible. In water immersion, the scaffolds persisted 10-30 days without
dimensional or visible surface degradation. X-ray diffraction showed CaCO3
like Graphite crystals at 200nm. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed
macro-microspore 25 μm-90 μm with
homogeneous interior crab shell powder (calcium carbonate) microcrystal
polygonal pores.
