Where this comes from

Abstract

Most calcium phosphates used as biomaterials are well characterized high temperature compounds presenting both bulk and surface properties very different from those of bone mineral. The composition and structure of biomaterials and bone mineral are discussed in order to highlight the differences and determine their consequences on biological behaviour.
