Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a novel process for converting a standard inert amorphous calcium phosphate precipitate into highly reactive amorphous solids. The amorphous solids can be used to react with other calcium phosphate solids to form a poorly-crystalline synthetic hydroxyapatite that provides both bioactivity and structural integrity. This novel amorphous material can be reacted with other calcium phosphates at or below 37.degree. C. to form a bone-like material consisting of poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite.
