Stability of the β-TCP granules. Release of calcium ions from uncoated and coated granules after incubation in mSBF with 4.2, 25, and 100 mM HCO3− is represented by the circles, triangles, diamonds and rectangles, respectively. The presence of the mineral coating improves the stability of the β-TCP granules. In the mineral-coated groups as the HCO3− concentration in mSBF increased the rate of dissolution increased as well.
