Tissue engineering requires new materials that can be used to replace damaged bone parts. Since hydroxyapatite, currently widely used, has low mechanical resistance, silicate ceramics can represent an alternative. The aim of this study was to obtain porous ceramics based on diopside (CaMgSiO) and akermanite (CaMgSiO) obtained at low sintering temperatures.

- A new strategy is proposed for creating porous scaffolds using forsterite (MgSiO) to aid in bone tissue regeneration, focusing on improving bone function.
- Forsterite demonstrates better mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and antibacterial features compared to traditional biomaterials like hydroxyapatite.
- The study found that the method of creating the porous ceramics and the temperature during sintering influences the samples' properties, with heat-treated ceramics showing improved cell viability and adhesion in vitro.
