<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of tricalcium phosphate containing silicon as a material for an artificial bone for providing the artificial bones which promote a bone reproduction while being absorbed, by involving silicon that promotes a bone production into the tricalcium phosphate that exhibits bioabsorptivity, and to provide tricalcium phosphate containing silicon. <P>SOLUTION: The method is characterized by synthesizing tricalcium phosphate containing silicon by reacting a calcium compound, phosphoric acid and a silicon compound in an aqueous solution, followed by heating them. The resultant tricalcium phosphate containing silicon is characterized in that it is excellent in sinterability and in that the sintered material has a smaller dissolving rate in vivo. Artificial bones comprised of the tricalcium phosphate containing silicon are expected to promote a bone reproduction while being absorbed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
