HYDROXYAPATITE COMPOSITION, AND BONE OR TOOTH FILLER MADE THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for filling bone or tooth defects, having a sufficiently larger cured strength than that of a known hydroxyapatite composition.SOLUTION: A new composition for filling bone or tooth defects includes: hydroxyapatite treated with inositol phosphate (1); and spherical hydroxyapatite particles (2). Although the composition has a relative density comparable to that of a known hydroxyapatite composition, the cured strength is larger than that of a known hydroxyapatite composition.
