Regulation of DCPD Formation on β-TCP Granular Surface by Exposing Different Concentration of Acidic Calcium Phosphate Solution

Abstract

Regulation of DCPD formation on β-TCP granules was achieved by exposing β-TCP granular with different concentration of acidic calcium phosphate solution. It was found that a higher amount of DCPD was formed when exposed β-TCP granular with the higher concentration of acidic calcium phosphate solution. Morphological observation shows that the surface of β-TCP granular was fully coated with DCPD crystals after exposed with the higher concentration of acidic calcium phosphate solution. These results demonstrated that the DCPD formation on the β-TCP granular surface could be regulated by varying the concentration of acidic calcium phosphate solution.
