A method for promoting spine fusion inside intersomatic cages, comprising placing a fusion cage between two vertebral bodies, and injecting a bone cement paste inside said fusion cage, said bone cement paste containing a powder component comprising α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) particles having an average size greater than or equal to 9 μm, and a liquid component comprising blood.

A bioactive borate glass adhesive system is described for its composition and use in adhering a plurality of dental restorative components onto a tooth surface. The adhesive system comprises silanated borate bioactive glass particles and a biocompatible resin blend. The bioactive adhesive system functions as a non-degradable, permanent adhesive in tooth restoration in the presence of saliva. In addition, the bioactive borate adhesive system may be used for re-mineralization, de-sensitization and self-healing of dentin and enamel by releasing and depositing calcium and phosphate ions onto the exposed and damaged tooth surface.

Provided is an implantable composite which includes a plurality of resorbable ceramic particles with or without a biodegradable polymer. The resorbable ceramic particles can be granules including carbonated hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate in a ratio of 5:95 to 70:30. Some resorbable ceramic particles are granules, which include carbonated hydroxyapatite and β tricalcium phosphate in a ratio of 5:95 to 70:30. The resorbable ceramic particles have a particle size from about 0.4 to about 3.5 mm. The implantable composite is configured to fit at or near a bone defect as an autograft extender to promote bone growth. Methods of using the implantable composite are also provided.
