OCP has been shown to be a precursor of hydroxylapatite ( HAP ), an inorganic biomineral that is very important in bone growth.
12.
The "'asteroid bodies "'are made up of hydroxylapatite, which in turn consists of calcium and phosphates or phospholipids.
13.
In 2006 BioRepair appeared in Europe with the first toothpaste containing synthetic hydroxylapatite as an alternative to fluoride for the remineralization and reparation of tooth enamel.
14.
It consists of 75-to 125-?m ( average 100-?m ) calcium hydroxylapatite spheres suspended in an aqueous gel of sodium carboxylmethylcellulose.
15.
A promising method of modification is the introduction of fluorine or silicon into the primary structure with the formation of fluorine-or silicon-substituted hydroxylapatite.
16.
Such functions may be benign, like being used for a heart valve, or may be bioactive with a more interactive functionality such as hydroxylapatite coated hip implants.
17.
This begs the question ( for me, anyway ) : Why isn't hydroxylapatite used as a Tempshill 06 : 39, 20 January 2006 ( UTC)
18.
The amount of single and double-stranded DNA is measured by rapidly diluting the sample, which slows reassociation, and then binding the DNA to a hydroxylapatite column.
19.
Combined with phosphate, calcium forms hydroxylapatite ( Ca 5 ( PO 4 ) 3 ( OH ) ), the mineral portion of animal bones, teeth, and some corals.
20.
I am trying to find out how the solubility of hydroxylapatite depends on pH . I have searched through a number of reference books, but I've been unable to find an answer.
