Abstract
The application relates to a synthetic bone grafting powder mix comprising a calcium compound and protein. Preferably, the ratio by weight of the calcium compound to protein is between 90:10 to 70:30. Further, the preferred calcium compound comprises one of the following (a) Calcium Phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2); (b) Calcium Carbonate (Ca(CO3)); (c) Fluorapatite (Ca10(PO4)6F2); (d) Monetite (CaHPO4); or (e) Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2).
