Abstract: Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been studied extensively due to its bioactivity and biodegradability. CPC is typically made by a combination of multiple calcium phosphates that form a paste that sets and hardens in the body after being combined with either water or an aqueous solution. It is highly moldable and easily manipulated, and CPCs possess osteoconductive properties. Due to these characteristics, CPCs offer great promise in bone grafting applications. CPC combined with drugs has a great potential as drug delivery system and has been studied extensively. In this review we have focused on Bisphosphonate-CPC drug delivery system. In addition, we introduce and discuss the potential of studying other bisphosphonates.
