Magnesium (Mg) is a conspicuous constituent of hard tissues but its possible role in biomineralization is poorly understood. It is possible that Mg2+ adsorbed onto bioapatites may contribute to the modulation of crystal growth as such inhibitory activity has been reported for synthetic apatites. The
## Abstract Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has been suggested as a precursor of biological apatite in bone, dentin, and cementum because its existence explains the nonstoichiometry of apatite crystals in their compositions. Synthetic inorganic calcium phosphate compounds have been used clinically to f
Densely sintered synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) is used as an implant material because of its excellent tissue biocompatibility. In order to maximize the biological potential of this calcium phosphate, we have investigated the incorporation of carbonate into HA to make a material which more closely r
