Photo
Can we get a photo of the actual chemical? Badagnani (talk) 02:05, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Chemical Formula
The chemical formula is wrong, it should be Ca3(PO4)2. Then the fomula will agree with the molar mass. Anyone object to changing it?Rgbutler (talk) 20:05, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Another use in medicine
My wife had surgery on her shoulder, part of which involved cutting the biceps tendon and reattaching it to the humerus lower down. Aparently the screw used to hold it is place is tricalcium phosphate. The surgeon said that it will take about a year to dissolve, during which time it wil be replaced by bone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E414:3A01:E4D9:3CF3:B8AA:4131 (talk) 03:40, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
