Hydroxyapatite

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, with the chemical formula Ca₅(PO₄)₃(OH). It is the main mineral component of bones and teeth, providing strength and structure. In medical and dental fields, synthetic hydroxyapatite is used for bone repair, implants, and bone grafts because it closely resembles natural bone mineral, encouraging new bone growth and integration. Its biocompatibility and stability make it an effective material for restoring bone tissue and improving dental health.
