A new bottom-up approach that makes pure α-TCP has the potential to improve the field of calcium phosphate bone cements. This research takes on the challenge, with attention to microstructural characteristics, to develop a nano-sized building block of resorbable bone cements – by heating amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursor – that upon mixing with water transforms into calcium-deficient apatite.
