After oral exposure, slabs were incubated in HCl (pH values 2, 2.3, and 3) for 120 s and kinetics of calcium and phosphate release were measured photometrically; representative samples were evaluated by SEM and TEM. The physiological pellicle reduced demineralization at all pH values; the protective effect was enhanced by fluoride.
Ammonia produced as a waste product by the bacteria can make the urine less acidic (or more alkaline). Struvite stones form when the urine becomes more alkaline. The main chemicals in a struvite stone include struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) and calcium carbon-apatite. These stones can grow quickly and become quite large.
Herein, we demonstrate a detailed transformation mechanism of amorphous calcium phosphate spherical particles to apatite platelet-like crystals, within the …
Background and aims: The arterial wall calcium score and circulating free DNA levels are now used in clinical practice as biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. Calcium phosphate apatite retention in the arterial wall necessitates precipitation on an anionic platform. Here, we explore the role of tissue-free DNA as such a platform.
Single phased apatitic calcium phosphate powders Ca 10−x (PO 4) 6−x (HPO 4) x (OH) 2−x with Ca/P molar ratio ranging from 1.5 to 1.667 (0⩽x⩽1) were synthesised using wet method. Outside this compositional range the powders were biphasic mixtures composed of a calcium phosphate apatite and CaHPO 4 (Ca/P<1.5) or …
The combination of 50 mcg of vitamin D3 and 325 mg calcium hydroxyapatite, as found in the OsteoMD ® bone health supplement, work synergistically to enhance bone mineralization, which is linked to reduced risk of osteoporosis. The hormone calcil also promotes calcium absorption, and vitamin D3 encourages …
Abstract Apatite calcium phosphates have been synthesized at pH 9–11, Ca/P = 1.50–1.67 under variable isolation conditions. A complex procedure for identification of inclusion of amorphous calcium phosphate by precipitation of hydroxyapatite under non-equilibrium conditions, including XRD/FTIR/DTA methods. The maximal stabilization of …
10.1007/BF02555820. The aims of this study were (1) to determine at the crystal level, the nonspecific biological fate of different types of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) ceramics after implantation in various sites (osseous and nonosseous) in animals and (2) to investigate the crystallographic association of newly formed apatitic crystals with the ...
What Brushite Is. Put simply it is CaHPO 4.2H 2 O, a calcium phosphate crystal. It forms more readily than hydroxyapatite or calcium oxalate. In being a precursor form, brushite is similar to the 'amorphous' outer layers of bone mineral and to the first phase to deposit over plaque exposed to urine. Brushite can convert to hydroxyapatite. …
Literature from human studies can provide some information on foods high (or low) in minerals (eg. calcium and oxalate). This information may assist some owners who select human food as treats. In most cases, if treats comprise less than 5-10% of the diet, they most likely will not affect prevention strategies to minimize urolith formation.
Adults should aim to consume less than 2,300 mg a day. 3 One teaspoon of table salt has 2,325 milligrams (mg) of sodium. If you have had calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate stones, you should follow this guideline, even if you take medicine to prevent kidney stones.
However, when compared with the bulk of solid apatite (Ca/P = 1.67) this layer appears to be calcium-rich (Ca/P > 1.67) when the counter anions A n-(it is assumed, that apatite is dissolved in acid H n A, where A n-is an anion) adsorbed from the solution are not taken into account. If the counter anions are calculated, a numeric value for …
Apatite ( Fig. 1.12) is a group of natural calcium mineral±fluorine and chlorine (Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 (F, Cl, OH)). The mineral primarily occurs as phosphate rock. The large apatite deposits are located in China, Canada, the United States, Europe, Russia, and India. Apatite is used as a source of phosphorus, phosphoric acid, and fertilizers.
The main difference between the apatite cements consisting of α-TCP and TTCP–DCPA is that the former consist of single calcium phosphate powder whereas the latter consist of two calcium phosphate powders. The Ca/P ratio of TTCP is 2.0 and is higher than that of HAp, which has a Ca/P ratio of 1.67.
Apatite, any member of a series of phosphate minerals, the world's major source of phosphorus, found as variously coloured glassy crystals, …

The two forms of calcium phosphate include apatite (sometimes reported as carbonate apatite), which is the crystal type found in bone, or calcium hydrogen phosphate (brushite); the frequency of apatite is much greater than brushite. Calcium phosphate crystals in the urine sediment are typically dark and amorphous. ... Zilberman …
Abstract. Calcium phosphates are widespread in geochemistry, in biomineralization, and as biomaterials, and thus they have solicited great interest among researchers. In this chapter, prenucleation phenomena, amorphous phases, and crystallization processes from amorphous precursors are discussed for the calcium …
In 51 patients in which the carbonate content of apatite could be measured, carbonate in the apatite was weakly predictive of positive stone culture with an optimal cutoff value of 13.5% carbonate (sensitivity 0.61, specificity 0.80). In positive cultures of stones (all mineral types combined), organisms that characteristically produce urease ...
