Exploring the potential of magnesium oxychloride, an amorphous magnesium phosphate, and newberyite as possible bone cement candidates.

ABSTRACT: Magnesium phosphate-based bone cements, particularly struvite (MgNH₄PO₄∙6H₂O)-forming cements, have attracted increased scientific interest in recent years because they exhibit similar biocompatibility to hydroxyapatite while degrading much more rapidly in vivo. However, other magnesium-based minerals which might be promising are, to date, little studied. Therefore, in this study, we investigated three magnesium-based bone cements: a magnesium oxychloride cement (Mg₃(OH)₅Cl∙4H₂O), an amorphous magnesium phosphate cement based on Mg₃(PO₄)₂, MgO, and NaH₂PO₄, and a newberyite cement (MgHPO₄·3H₂O). Because it is not sufficiently clear from the literatu
