Abstract Calcium phosphate cements have been the subject of many studies in the last decade because of their biocompatibility, their capacity to fill bone cavities and their hardening properties; properties which are desirable in a broad range of surgical applications. The setting and hardening of these materials are controlled by dissolution–precipitation chemical reactions at room or body temperature and involve crystalline phase transformations. © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers
