Analyze and Compare the Crystallographic Changes for Zinc Substituted Hydroxyapatite using X-Ray Diffraction

Abstract

The main motive of the study is to analyze and compare the crystallographic changes using the X-Ray diffraction method for zinc substituted hydroxyapatite. Materials and Methods: Different types of zinc substituted hydroxyapatite are used. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, zinc chloride hexahydrate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate and ammonium hydroxide solutions are added and they are mixed with ammonium hydroxide solution. The ultrasonic was used to carry the precipitation method. The zinc substituted data(N=4), the total sample size was calculated as 4 using clinclac.com, alpha error is 0.05, the G power at 80%, the enrollment ratio to 0:1 and the confidence interval to 95% and the total sample size was computed. Result: Using SPSS software and a one sample T-test, 0% 1%, 5% and 10% percent of zinc with hydroxyapatite were calculated. There is a statistical significance, P=0.002, (p<0.05). The wt% of Zinc hydroxyapatite is of no significance with P=0.177, (p<0.05). The result shows that when compared to other percentages, 10% of zinc substituted hydroxyapatite. Conclusion: The analysis of this study shows that Hydroxyapatite with 10% Zinc Doped Hydroxyapatite has Superior qualities to other Substitutes for future medical applications.
