Rate of stannous fluoride reaction with hydroxyapatite. 1978

K G Nelson

Solutions of stannous fluoride are reacted with hydroxyapatite and the progress of the reaction is monitored by calcium analysis. The formation of Sn3F3PO4 proceeds faster with an increase in SnF2 concentration and can be further increased by adding Sn++ to the stannous fluoride solution.

D010710	Phosphates	Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid.	Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
