TI  - Characterization of processed tooth hydroxyapatite for potential biomedical 
      implant applications.
PG  - 367-79
AB  - In this study hydroxyapatite (HA) (100-150 microns) derived from 
      freshly-extracted human teeth in laboratory conditions was investigated. Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), wet 
      chemical, ion chromatographic peak method (ICP), atomic absorption, x-ray 
      diffraction and infra-red (IR) were performed separately for HA obtained from 
      dentine and enamel. This naturally derived HA did not differ from synthetic ones. 
      Its production was simple when compared with other methods. Processed tooth HA 
      could safely be used in animal subjects prior to human studies as a graft 
      material after biocompatibility studies fully conducted.
