The aims of the present investigation were to assess the applicability of the metastable equilibrium solubility (MES) concept for the carbonated apatites (CAPs) over a range of pH and a wide range of solution fluoride concentrations and to examine the hypothesis that, in the presence of solution flu

## Abstract To study the effect of fluoride on the physicochemical properties of carbonateβcontaining apatites, two series of fluoridated CO~3~ apatites with various fluoride contents were synthesized at 80Β°C and pH 7.4. The __a__βaxis dimensions of these apatites decreased with the increase of bot
Previous reports indicating that the apparent solubilities of carbonate-apatites are low appear to conflict with findings that carbonate incorporation into the apatite structure tends to reduce stability. Carbonate-apatites were prepared by a precipitation method and by hydrolysis of monetite and br
