Abstract: Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used clinically as a bone repair material. As a bioactive ion, silicon has good osteogenic activity and potential to improve the physical and chemical properties of bone cement. Therefore, the way incorporating silicon into calcium phosphate cement gradually become a hot topic in recent years. This article will review the research progress of calcium phosphate cement with silicon.
