The primary bonding mechanism in compaction is plastic deformation. As with dibasic calcium phosphate, a lubricant and a disintegrant should usually be incorporated in capsule or tablet formulations that include tribasic calcium phosphate.

Application and Effect

Calcium phosphate tribasic is the mineral component of bones and teeth; it has been used therapeutically as a prosthetic aid and in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Employed in tissue replacement for repairing bony defects and acts as drug carrier for drug delivery to the bone. Hydroxyapatite nanopowders, incorporated in biodegradable polymer composites or deposited on biocompatible substrates, have been shown to promote adhesions and proliferation of bone-forming (osteoblast) cells. It is also the starting material for the production of phosphoric acid and fertilizers.
