Abstract
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 degrees, they may have a structure similar to that of the mineral dahllite. When heated to temperatures greater than 550 degrees, CDCA (like bone mineral) losses its structural CO3 and is recrystallized to whitlockite and/or OH-apatite, depending on its stoichiometry.Entities:
