title: [The characterization by Fourier-transform infrared vibration spectroscopy of mineral-based biomaterials commonly used in dentistry. 4].
abstract: In this study the following biomaterials were analysed by means of Fourier transform infrared vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR); they are: reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable atomized Dac Blu, non reabsorbable fine Dac Blu, reabsorbable Biocoral 450, Calcitite 2040-12, Orthogel, Apagen, BTF 65, Calcitite 4060-2 Osprogel, Bio-Oss, Biostite, Osprovit, Merck Hydroxyapatite. The analysis was performed with a Jasco 5300-FTIR. At 64 readings for spectrum with a 2 cm-1 resolution. By means of this method it has been possible to perform a structural study at a molecular level of the commercial products mentioned before. The analysis showed which of the samples examined had lost the apatite OH- group during production. It also allowed the identification of some of the hydroxyapatites examined as carbonate apatites. Finally, it allowed the identification and quantification of the organic substances in the examined products.
