Abstract excerpt
The two crystalline forms of CaCO3, aragonite (from natural coral) and calcite (from natural limestone), have been used with success as bone graft substitutes. However, natural coral transformed into calcite by heating has never been tested. The objective of this work was to study the proliferati...
