Tricalcium phosphate (sometimes abbreviated TCP)
is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid with the chemical
formula Ca3(PO4)2. It
is also known as tribasic
calcium phosphate and bone phosphate of lime (BPL).
Detailed description
It is a white solid of low solubility. Most
commercial samples of "tricalcium phosphate" are in fact
hydroxyapatite.[2]
It exists as three crystalline polymorphs α, α', and
β. The α and α' states are stable at high temperatures. As mineral, it is found
in Whitlockite.
Uses
Tricalcium phosphate is used in powdered spices as
an anticaking agent, e.g. to prevent table salt
from caking. It is also found in baby powder and toothpaste.[2]
Biomedical
It is also used as a nutritional supplement[13] and occurs naturally
in cow milk[citation needed], although the most common and economical forms for
supplementation are calcium carbonate (which should be
taken with food) and calcium citrate (which can be taken
without food).[14] There is some debate
about the different bioavailabilities of the different calcium salts.
It can be used as a tissue replacement for repairing
bony defects when autogenous bone graft is not feasible or
possible. It may be used alone
or in combination with a biodegradable, resorbable polymer such as polyglycolic acid. It may also be
combined with autologous materials for a bone graft.
Porous beta-Tricalcium phosphate scaffolds are
employed as drug carrier systems for local drug delivery in bone.
