Bone Cement: A Review

Abstract

The biomaterials are therefore substances or combination of substances (except drugs) originated from nature or manufactured. accepted on a provisional or permanent basis to improve, augment or replace tissues consolidated in the Consensus Conference on Biomaterials for c mixing two or more components, with the purpose of filling the space between the prosthesis and the bone, ac prosthesis. The use of bone cement began from the decade 60, where their constituents, to the present day, have high biocompatibility with tissue from the living body with and among the various types of bone cements studied, there i which results from the mixing of a polymer (PMMA) powder and a liquid monomer with varying proportions according to the producer.Other elements can be still added, such as antibiotics, to reduce the possibility of the cement during surgery. Thus, several studies have been conducted to improve the properties andfind new odontologicals cements.
