· Ca3(PO4)2

Calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂), commonly known as tricalcium phosphate (TCP), is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the phosphate glass family. It is biocompatible and resorbable, making it valuable in medical and dental applications where integration with or gradual replacement by bone tissue is desired. TCP is often used alongside hydroxyapatite in composite bone scaffolds and as a standalone material in bone fillers, coatings, and tissue engineering matrices because its controlled dissolution rate allows staged resorption while new bone forms.
