Fluorapatit Ca5F(PO4)3 - Ein Modell zur Synthese der Zahnhartsubstanz im System CaF2-Ca3(PO4)2 / Fluorapatite - A Model for the Synthesis of Dental Enamel in the System CaF2-Ca3(PO4)2

  • Ernst-Dieter Franz

Abstract

Fluorapatite Ca5F(PO4)3 can be synthesized by melting of CaF2 together with Ca3(PO4)2 at 1660 °C in the molar ratio CaF2 · 3 Ca3(PO4)2. Fluorapatite is more resistant against acids than hydroxylapatite Ca5OH(PO4)2 and can activate the remineralisation in dental enamel. The apatite of dental enamel is more resistant against mechanical stress than synthetic apatite due to a different microstructure of the crystal grains.
