Morphology-Dependent Transformation of Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate (DCPD) to Octacalcium Phosphate (OCP) and Its Stability in Simulated Physiological Fluids [PDF]
MoleculesCalcium phosphate (CaP) materials are biocompatible and non-toxic to the body. However, they lack biointegration, exhibit a low resorption rate and can cause fibrous encapsulation throughout the implant material.

The location of cationic substitutions in carbonated biomimetic apatites significantly affects crystal nanomechanics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBone and teeth are comprised of carbonate-substituted apatites with cationic substitutions, like sodium and potassium. Cations substitute for calcium in the apatite lattice but it is unclear whether they substitute for Ca(1) or Ca(2).

Studies of Peculiar Mg-Containing and Oscillating Bioapatites in Sheep and Horse Teeth
Biomolecules, 2021 New types of biological apatites have been discovered in molar sheep and horse teeth and are divided in two types. In the first and more general type, the release of Mg ions is parallel to the changes in composition of apatite leading to a final ...
