The Composition of Recrystallized Bone MineralGeorgetown University Medical Center, 3800 Reservoir Road, N. W., Washington, D.C. 20007
Georgetown University Medical Center, 3800 Reservoir Road, N. W., Washington, D.C. 20007 Bone mineral and synthetic calcium-deficient carbonate apatite (CDCA), when defined in terms of their respective thermal stabilities and ignition products, are homologous. When heated to 550°, they may have a structure similar to that of the mineral dahllite. When heated to temperatures >550°, CDCA (like bone mineral) loses its structural CO3 and is recrystallized to whitlockite and/or OH-apatite, depending on its stoichiometry.
