This study investigated the in vitro conversion reaction in calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) containing octacalcium phosphate (OCP) as one of the reagents. OCP is known to be a precursor for apatite formation in vivo. The reaction products were characterized using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray dif
## Abstract A selfβhardening calciumβphosphate cement (CPC) containing Ca~4~(PO~4~)~2~O and CaHPO~4~ has been shown in clinical studies to be efficacious for repairing bone defects. This and several other similar CPCs harden in 10 min with the use of a phosphate solution as the liquid and form hydr
