Recaldent
Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a glassy solid that is formed from the chemical decomposition of a mixture of dissolved phosphate and calcium salts (e.g. (NH4)2HPO4 + Ca(NO3)2). The resulting amorphous mixture consists mostly of calcium and phosphate, but also contains varying amounts of water and hydrogen and hydroxide ions, depending on the synthesis conditions. Such mixtures are also known as calcium phosphate cement. ACP is generally categorized into either "amorphous tricalcium phosphate" (ATCP) or calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA). CDHA is sometimes termed " apatitic calcium triphosphate." The composition of amorphous calcium phosphate is Ca''x''H''y''(PO4)''z''·''n''H2O, where ''n'' is between 3 and 4.5. CDHA has a general formula of Ca9(HPO4)(PO4)5(OH). Precipitation from a moderately supersaturated and basic solution of a magnesium salt produces amorphous magnesium calcium phosphate (AMCP), in which magnesium incorporated into the ACP structure.
