A poly(HEMA) sponge for restoration of articular cartilage defects.

The properties of poly(HEMA) sponges have been studied after implantation in the weight-bearing articular surfaces of young and adult rabbit knees. Only sponges with small pores (less than 50 micrometer) were able to withstand weight-bearing. After 12 weeks, the implants were overgrown by cartilaginous or fibrocartilaginous tissue, and the ingrowth of chondroid tissue into the sponges was observed.

Improved cements containing phosphate polymers.

The mechanical properties of two commercially available dental cements, a zinc phosphate cement and a carboxylate cement, were substantially improved by adding a polymeric phosphate acid to the cement liquids. The improvements can be explained in terms of the change in physico-chemical nature of the modified cements.
