Figure 2.9. Crystal growth of calcium phosphates in gel system. (silica gel incorporating
phosphate ions, calcium ions diffusing into the gel), 37 °C, solution Ca/P molar ratio, 1/1.
(1) pH 6.5, OCP (O) spheres grew on the top layer and DCPD platy crystals grew on the
bottom layer of the gel' (2) same pH but in the presence of P 2 4 ions, OCP growth was
inhibited, DCPD crystal size reduced and change in shape observed; (3) in the presence of F
ions, growth of OCP and DCPD were suppressed, growth of (F,OH)-apatite needle-like crystals
was promoted [59,64,69].
