Crystallographic Investigation of Tricalcium Phosphate Hydrate

Abstract
By use of the hydrother-mal bomb technic, crystals of tricalcium phosphate hydrate were grown from about 500 A to 3[mu] in length. Thus accurate crystallographic evidence was obtained which, when combined with chemical data, suggested that this substance, which is similar to bone, dentin and cementum, might be hydroxy-apatite with phosphoric acid occluded in the ratio of 0.6 moles of H3PO4 to one mole of Ca10(P04)6(OH)2.
