    Deposition of dihydrate crystals in cartilage are responsible for the severe joint pain in cases of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (pseudo gout) whose symptoms are similar to those of gout. [1] Ca 2 P 2 O 7 is commonly used as a mild abrasive agent in toothpastes because of its insolubility and nonreactivity toward fluoride. [2]
