Phosphocalcic hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)2(OH)2 is the closest synthetic material to bone in terms of its composition and structure.
CEMENTEK® / CEMENTEK® LV is a non stoechiometric HYDROXYAPATITE prepared from the reaction between the acid and base calcium phosphates in the presence of an aqueous solution.
The CEMENTEK® products are obtained after mixing of liquid and solid phases. It's observed a setting phase then a hardening phase.
The several physico chemical reactions are :
