Abstract
Abstract A composition for osseous repair which is prepared by a process comprising mixing a particulate polycrystalline calcium phosphate ceramic, a phosphophoryn calcium salt and type I collagen, preferably in a weight ratio of ceramic:calcium salt:collagen of about 775-15:3-0.1:1, to yield a solid porous composition which is effective to promote new bone formation upon introduction of the composition into osseous defects.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A composition for osseous repair which is prepared by a process comprising mixing a particulate polycrystalline calcium phosphate ceramic, a phosphophoryn calcium salt and type I collagen in a weight ratio of ceramic:calcium salt:collagen of about 775-15:3-0.1:1 to yield a solid porous composition which is effective to promote new bone formation upon introduction of the composition into osseous defects.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A composition for osseous repair which is prepared by a process comprising mixing a particulate polycrystalline calcium phosphate ceramic, a phosphophoryn calcium salt and type I collagen in a weight ratio of ceramic:calcium salt:collagen of about 775-15:3-0.1:1 to yield a solid porous composition which is effective to promote new bone formation upon introduction of the composition into osseous defects.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein a mixture of the particulate ceramic, the phosphophoryn calcium salt and the type I collagen in water is prepared and the water is removed in vacuo .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein the water is removed by lyophilization.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the particulate polycrystalline calcium phosphate ceramic comprises hydroxylapatite, beta -tricalcium phosphate or mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 1 which comprises a dentinal phosphophoryn calcium salt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of ceramic:calcium salt:collagen is about 400-20:3-0.1:1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
