| Abstract: | Anadara granosa (Ag) is a marine bivalve cockles
which can be found in the tidal mudflats bordering the coastal
region of many south East Asian countries particularly Malaysia,
Indonesia and Thailand. This research is aim to investigate the
potential of Malaysian cockle (Anadara Granosa) shell to be used
as bone substitute material. Therefore, in this study two types of
bioceramic has been produced which made from a pure Anadara
granosa (Ag) powder and the another one is a mixture of Ag and
synthetic Hydroxyapatite (HAP) powder with a mix ratio of 3:7.
Pellets of bioceramic from these powders were fabricated by
uniaxial pressing technique followed by sintering process at
different temperatures. Sintering of HAP-Anadara granosa
(HAP-Ag) bioceramic samples at 700oC resulted in highest
compressive strength without the effect of decomposition. The
results indicated that the average apparent density of these
samples was 1.45g/cm3 and the average compressive strength was
7.0 MPa. With the compressive strengths comparable to human
bone, HAP-Ag is suggested to be used for injectable bone filler
and bone graft for non-load bearing bone such as cervical and
lumbar bone. |
