Abstract

We studied the microstructures of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics which were sintered under three different conditions. It was found that all the ceramics were of sub-micrometer structure. The synthetic HA ceramics were also compared with human enamel. It is concluded that human enamel has higher strength because of its unique microstructure.
