In this work an alternative method to synthesize β-TCP for use as starting material for apatite cement (bone graft substitute) has been investigated. The transformation of β-TCP to HAp after initial setting of the cement has also been studied. The calcination of precipitated calcium deficient HAp is more effective to prepare β-TCP as starting material for apatite cement – a bone graft substitute. Less milling was required to obtain β-TCP with low crystallinity and the same degree of conversion to HAp after setting of cement.
