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 10

The series of XRD patterns for a tooth heat-treated at 700–1100°C temperature range suggest that the occurrence of β-TCP is observable by heating the specimen in a furnace as low as 750°C for 10 minutes at a rate of 20°C/min and then cooling in air.
