Tag: Synthetic hydroxyapatite

Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), a key mineral component of human bone and teeth, is extensively produced for biomedical applications due to its exceptional biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties. Its synthesis, whether from natural sources or synthetic chemical reactions, involves precise control over process parameters to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and purity for specific uses like bone regeneration and dental implants.

Making up nearly 97% of your tooth enamel and a significant portion of your bones, hydroxyapatite is a mineral found naturally in the human body. This natural form, known as biogenic hydroxyapatite, can be derived from various biological waste materials, distinguishing it from chemically synthesized alternatives.
