Different resorbable apatitic calcium phosphate bone cements are currently used. They present good mechanical properties and reasonable setting times. However, they remain dense and do not provide rapid bone substitution because of the lack of macro porosity. This study compared 3 kinds of CaP cements presenting different crystallinity characteristics and can be resorbed at different rates allowing the replacement by newly formed bone.
