Progress of Biomineralization Process of Calcium Phosphate in Bone and Teeth

Calcium phosphates are the main biominerals in organism. The biomineralization process of various calcium phosphates in bone and teeth in vivo and in vitro was reviewed in this paper. The composition, structure, organic matrix and formation mechanisms of bone and teeth were introduced and compared. The modulation of organic matrix on the growth of calcium phosphate was discussed about the molecular recognition, lattice matching and electrostatic interaction at the organic/inorganic interface.
