Background:

  • Inorganic radiopaque agents in bone cement can have limitations.
  • There is a need for alternative radiopaque materials in bone cement formulations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incorporation of 4-iodophenol methacrylate (IPMA) as a radiopaque monomer in the liquid phase of bone cement.
  • To evaluate the effect of varying IPMA concentrations on bone cement characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of 4-iodophenol methacrylate (IPMA) monomer.
  • Preparation of bone cements with different IPMA concentrations using standard methods.
  • Assessment of setting time, radiopacity, dynamic and static mechanical properties, and glass transition temperature.

  • Histological evaluation of tissue response to implanted specimens.

    • Main Results:

    • Increasing IPMA concentration decreased setting time.
    • 15 vol.% IPMA formulations achieved radiopacity comparable to 10 wt.% barium sulfate.
    • Enhanced compressive strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus were observed compared to barium sulfate-containing cements.
    • No significant differences in glass transition temperature were noted.
    • Histological studies indicated a favorable muscular tissue response.

    Conclusions:

    • 4-iodophenol methacrylate (IPMA) is a viable radiopaque monomer for bone cement modification.
    • IPMA-modified bone cements exhibit improved mechanical properties and comparable radiopacity to conventional agents.
    • The material demonstrates good biocompatibility, suggesting its potential as an alternative radiopaque agent.
