Understanding the Crystallinity Indices Behavior of Burned Bones and Teeth by ATR-IR and XRD in the Presence of Bioapatite Mixed with Other Phosphate and Carbonate Phases

Figure 3

The spectra evolution as a function of temperature treatment for a human tooth shows an unconventional behavior for the (PO4) band in terms of crystallinity index values. We can also note an additional peak which appears at ca. 1123 cm−1 as indicated by arrows.
