Chemical formula
Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2
Background
Hydroxyapatite is chemically similar to the mineral component of bones and hard tissues in mammals. It is one of few materials that are classed as bioactive, meaning that it will support bone ingrowth and osseointegration when used in orthopaedic, dental and maxillofacial applications.
The chemical nature of hydroxyapatite lends itself to substitution, meaning that it [...]
