The present invention discloses a surgical cement and a manufacturing method thereof. The surgical cement comprises a cementing component selected form the group of a basic calcium phosphate consisting of tetracalcium phosphate, alpha-tricalcium phosphate, decomposed hydroxyapatite, or a combination thereof； a setting reagent selected form the group of an acidic calcium citrate consisting of monocalcium citrate, dicalcium citrate, or a combination thereof； and water； wherein a weight ratio of the cementing component and the setting reagent ranges from about 1:1 to about 8:1. The surgical cement is bioresorbable and bioactive and is useful in orthopedic, maxillofacial and dental applications. In addition, the surgical cement of this invention has a good flow character and a relatively short setting time.
