Hydroxyapatite (IMA name: hydroxylapatite [5]) (Hap, HAp, or HA) is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 (OH), often written Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2 to denote that the crystal unit cell comprises two entities. [6] It is the hydroxyl endmember of the complex apatite group.

When implanted, Bioglass 45S5 reacts with the surrounding physiological fluid, causing the formation of a hydroxyl carbonated apatite (HCA) layer at the material surface. The HCA layer has a similar composition to hydroxyapatite, the mineral phase of bone, a quality which allows for strong interaction and integration with bone. The process by ...
Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals, usually hydroxyapatite, fluorapatite and chlorapatite, with high concentrations of OH −, F − and Cl − ion, respectively, in the crystal. The formula of the admixture of the three most common endmembers is written as Ca 10 ( PO 4 ) 6 (OH,F,Cl) 2 , and the crystal unit cell formulae of the ...
The name "hydroxyapatite" - the wrong one - is, unfortunately, notoriously used in the medical literature. It is time, and - possibly - place to change it. So is true for "minerals" in drinking water - a typical mental shortcut, which is, again, wrong, as there are no minerals in drinking water (it contains mineral substances, not minerals, and ...
The mechanical properties of the resulting porous scaffolds have been studied in various works of literature. [ 21 ] The printed 13-93 bioactive glass scaffold in the study by Liu et al. was dried in ambient air, fired to 600 °C under the O 2 atmosphere to remove the processing additives, and sintered in air for 1 hour at 700 °C.
The phosphate is present as fluorapatite Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 F typically in cryptocrystalline masses (grain sizes < 1 μm) referred to as collophane-sedimentary apatite deposits of uncertain origin. [2] It is also present as hydroxyapatite Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 OH or Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 , which is often dissolved from vertebrate bones and teeth, whereas ...
