TLDR
It is as biocompatible as β-TCP, but more soluble, and hydrolyses rapidly to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, which makes α- TCP a useful component for preparing self-setting osteotransductive bone cements and biodegradable bioceramics and composites for bone repairing.

A Comparative Study of the Sintering Behavior of Pure and Manganese-Substituted Hydroxyapatite.

TL;DR: It was found that MnHA was less stable than HA decomposing around 800 °C compared to 1200 °C for HA, and the low thermal stability of MnHA suggests that a faster in vivo dissolution rate compared to pure HA is expected.

Solid-state synthesis of alpha tricalcium phosphate for cements used in biomedical applications

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cooling at three different rates on the properties of the derived calcium phosphate cements was studied and it was shown that a low cooling rate of 10°C/min is enough to avoid the formation of the beta phase.

Synthesis of Monetite from Calcium Hydroxyapatite and Monocalcium Phosphate Monohydrate under Mechanical Activation Conditions

TL;DR: A powder of monetite with a particle size of 100-300 nm was synthesized from monocalcium phosphate monohydrate Ca(H2PO4)2 ⋅ H2O and calcium hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO46(OH)2 in an acetone medium upon mechanical activation in a planetary mill as mentioned in this paper.
