[Physical and chemical aspects of ionomer bone implants].
Polymaleinate ionomer (Ionocem) is a new bone replacement material for head and neck surgery. Ionomeric cement sets during a neutralization reaction of an alkaline glass with a polyalkenoic acid. No unphysiological heat is created during setting. Ionocem hardens in a bony defect in about 5 minutes. Molding, shaping, drilling and adding of new unset viscous cement applied to already hardened cement is easily possible in surgery. Ionocem is biocompatible, biostable and well tolerated by bone and soft tissues. Ionocem is adhesive to bone, offering new possibilities in reconstructive head and neck surgery. Devices can be fixed in place with the cement, bony structures anatomically reconstructed and CSF fistulas permanently closed.
