Zusammenfassung:A mixture of two or more calcium phosphate compositions are combined with an aqueous solution and are useful as bone fillers on bone cements such as orthopedic and dental cements and remineralizers. The mixtures self-harden to substantially form hydroxyapatite, the mineral phase of bone and tooth enamel. The at least one or more of precursors is prepared in a manner resulting in its having an extremely low moisture level. The use of low moisture components results in an improved shelf life to the mixture.
