In this work properties of new brushite and hydroxyapatite compound cements are investigated. Particular attention is paid to obtaining suitable setting properties for cements with different brushite and hydroxyapatite ratios. Setting time is controlled by adding setting time retarder – citrate ions and filler - monetite. Calcium dihydrogenphosphate monohydrate and α-tricalcium phosphate were the starting materials for investigated cements. It is possible to obtain calcium phosphate cements that contain both brushite and hydroxyapatite phases after setting.
