Abstract

In this work we relate about the results coming from crystallographic, physical and mineral tests taken on following biomaterials used in odontostomatology: reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable Dac Blu, not reabsorbable atomized Dac Blu, not reabsorbable thin Dac Blu, reabsorbable Biocoral 450, Calcitite 2040-12, Orthogel, Apagen, BTF 65, Calcitite 4060-2, Osprogel, Bio-Oss, Biostite, Osprovit, Merck Hydroxiapatite. The data were obtained using the following tests: XRF, XRD, FTIR, TG, DTG, DTA, SEM. The results, although taken on few samples, showed that these biomaterials present a variability in some features, which can define the structural functionality.
