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.

Flame spray coating of α-tricalcium phosphate on AISI 316L alloy

TL;DR: In this article , the use of hydroxyapatite derived from green mussel (Perna Viridis) shell wastes for implant coating was investigated, and the results showed that the α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) found on the coating was confirmed by XRD Rietveld analysis.
