Abstract

It is widely accepted that bone tissue consists of an organic and an inorganic matrix, with hydroxyapatite (HAp) conventionally considered the dominant inorganic component. However, growing evidence suggests that the mineral phase of bone is not pure HAp but carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHAp). CHAp is a class of apatite in which phosphate (PO43−) or hydroxyl (OH) groups are partially substituted by carbonate (CO32−). Compared to HAp, CHAp exhibits greater biological and thermodynamic activity, resulting in higher biodegradability, osteogenicity, and osteoconductivity. This review discusses the crystal structure, synthesis methods, the role of sintering, analytical techniques, physicochemical properties, biological functions, and potential clinical applications of CHAp. In addition, it highlights the key differences between currently used bone graft substitutes (e.g., HAp ceramics and cements, β-tricalcium phosphate ceramics, and bioglass) and the natural mineral composition of bone. It is anticipated that a more biomimetic approach— particularly the incorporation of CHAp—will play an increasingly vital role in the future development of bone graft substitutes and osteogenic implants.
